With the year coming to a close, various organizations and institutions have begun sharing their year-end greetings, reflecting on the past year and promoting upcoming events for 2025. Among these, PLAY, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has announced its participation in the Japan DX Week, scheduled to take place from January 15 to 17, 2025, at Intex Osaka.
PLAY is set to showcase its business video distribution platform, ULIZA, and its video sales platform, PLAY VIDEO STORES, at booth K2-34 within Hall 4. The company expressed gratitude to its clients and partners, acknowledging their support throughout the year with heartfelt wishes for health and prosperity as the year ends.
“We will participate at the Japan DX Week from January 15 to 17, 2025, at Intex Osaka,” reported by the PLAY leadership, highlighting the significance of this event as an opportunity to connect with clients and share innovations.
Other organizations, including the International Relations Department of Soka University, also shared their year-end greetings. Reflecting on notable achievements, they expressed appreciation for the support received over the year. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the International Relations Department and the commencement of September admissions for international students, enriching the campus’s diverse community.
“Thank you for your support this year. We wish everyone health during the year-end season,” they remarked, underscoring the importance of maintaining well-being during this busy period. The department has increased the ratio of international students to one-third with the new schedule, enhancing its global character.
Year-end greetings are often paired with messages emphasizing the importance of public health as the holiday season approaches, particularly as infectious diseases circulate more broadly. Officials are reminding the public to maintain hygiene practices, such as hand washing and proper rest, to safeguard their health.
Local officials and community members have also engaged with residents in public outreach efforts, particularly at stations like Mikado Station. One noted, “This is the last outreach of the year, and I wanted to express my gratitude to the community,” reflecting the widespread sentiment of appreciation as the year wraps up. Signs of holiday travel have become apparent, with large suitcases being wheeled along the streets and travel preparations underway.
The New Year brings with it not only resolutions but also opportunities to engage with community events and gatherings. FACETING off future presentations and celebrations, many organizations are signaling their readiness for what lies ahead. The start of 2025 will see numerous announcements and activities, each aiming to build upon the foundations laid this past year.
For industry representatives, attending events like Japan DX Week is pivotal for networking and showcasing progress within the tech space. With countless innovations on display and many organizations vying for recognition, these events are opportunities to connect, collaborate, and advance their respective missions.
Soka University encourages students and stakeholders alike to find out more about the array of international opportunities available, including the potential for domestic study programs. By offering diverse environments for cultural exchange and academic growth, the university stands committed to nurturing global citizens ready to face the challenges of tomorrow.
Both individuals and organizations find themselves reflecting on the past year, filled with gratitude and hope. Whether through personal messages or institutional announcements, the collective voices resonate with wishes for health and prosperity as the year ends and 2025 dawns.
Organizations like PLAY and Soka University invite everyone to join them as they step confidently forward, ready to embrace new opportunities and challenges. Community gatherings, health initiatives, and interactive events will mark the beginning of the New Year, encouraging engagement and resilience.
Year-end greetings serve not only as reflections but as lights guiding toward the future, fostering connections and camaraderie as society transitions from the old year to the new. Everyone is invited to participate, stay informed, and remain engaged as they forge through the holiday season and welcome what is next on the horizon.
