IKIGAI SUMMIT JAPAN 2024

Bringing together insights from the world's leading ikigai researchers, authors and speakers for the world's first international ikigai summit.

Ikigai has become one of Japan's most misunderstood words and culturally appropriated concepts. It’s not a word from Okinawa. It’s not the Japanese secret to longevity. It's not a Venn diagram showing you how to find your bliss or become a successful entrepreneur. And it’s not the pursuit of a single life purpose.

This summit will bring together the knowledge of researchers, authors and speakers to offer various perspectives of ikigai while remaining respectful to Japanese culture and ikigai's origins.

IKIGAI SUMMIT 2023

The 2023 virtual summit was a great success and brought together the knowledge of researchers, authors and speakers to offer various perspectives of ikigai while remaining respectful to Japanese culture and ikigai's origins. In 2024 we plan to bring back our speakers at a live summit in Tokyo.
