Roland DG Hosts “The Day 2024”

10/20/2023　Corporate Activities

Roland DG once again hosted its annual internal event called “The Day.” Started in 2020, this marked the event’s fourth year. This event brings together all employees to reflect on the current fiscal year and share their enthusiasm for the upcoming one.

Reflecting on oneself and the company and taking a fresh step forward

“The Day” draws its inspiration from the world of surfing, signifying the annual arrival of the largest wave. From this moment, our company has designated “The Day” as a special occasion for reflecting on both oneself and the company while also exploring new possibilities.

This year’s “The Day 2024” took place on October 2, 2023, at Sala Music Hall near our headquarters in Hamamatsu. The event was also broadcast via satellite to our group of subsidiary companies, including the Thailand factory and various sales offices. Enthusiastic participation was observed not only from our headquarters’ employees but also from members at other locations.

To encourage interaction among attendees, a quiz competition related to the company’s history and products was conducted using a smartphone app. Through this quiz, participants deepened their connections and knowledge. Top performers were rewarded with custom-designed notebooks from Moleskine, our collaboration partner announced in September, with The Day’s original design printed using a UV printer. The event concluded with the recognition of employees celebrating 20 years of service.
