Fukuoka has joined co-founders Ottawa, The Hague, Geneva, and Prague, and twelve other cities in the Hybrid City Alliance. The Hybrid City Alliance brings together like-minded destinations to offer a simple, streamlined, transparent and free to access approach to engaging with multiple locations for hybrid and multi-city events.
The other twelve cities are Antwerp, Cannes, Costa Rica, Durban, Edmonton, Lausanne-Montreux, Liverpool, Quito, Seoul, Sydney, Winnipeg, and Zurich, which means there are hybrid hub cities available through the Hybrid City Alliance in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. Fukuoka is the first Hybrid City Alliance location in Japan. Read more here: https://www.welcome-fukuoka.or.jp/english/3304.html
