Another meaningful and engaging lineup of events awaits you in 2026!

 JLfest 2026 will be held from May 1 to July 26, 2026. Registration commences from April 1, 2026.

 This year, we are introducing a new competition and several new workshops, alongside our regular programs. The SUGOROKU Language eBoard Game Design Competition will be upgraded to the ASEAN regional level, and more Asian and European countries will be joining the ePoster Presentation Competition. Further details will be announced soon.

 To provide greater flexibility, we will introduce a new on-demand workshop format for selected workshops, catering to participants who are unable to attend live sessions.

 A special Cultural Talk on YOSAKOI, presented by two speakers from Kochi, Japan, is scheduled for May—an unmissable highlight for Yosakoi teams and dancers.

 For educators, the 3rd LEX Conference in May will focus on the theme “Meaningful International Exchange and Training Programs: Development and Future”, with additional workshops currently in the planning stages.

 Please note that the 4KOMA Story – Impromptu Speaking in Japanese series will take a break this year for restructuring.

 Last but not least, we will be unveiling the new JLfest 2026 logo and announcing the winners of the logo design competition next week. Stay tuned!
