In a digital age, there’s a reason to gather in person.
MEGAVAX held “Bathers Meeting 2026” in March 2026. Now in its second year, this annual conference brings together MEGAVAX employees and Bathers — skilled unit bath installation technicians — to share where the industry stands and where it’s headed.
In a world where AI and online platforms make information more accessible than ever, the ability to be in the same room — to read the energy of the people doing the work, to understand not just what happened on-site but why — is becoming more valuable, not less.
This year, TOTO joined the event as a guest. TOTO shared insights on customer satisfaction metrics and led an awareness session, followed by a hands-on discussion with Bathers on product workability. Feedback from the field — observations Bathers had gathered through daily installation work — was brought directly to the table, sparking a dialogue on how to improve product design for real-world conditions.
For manufacturers, this kind of access matters. As the number of highly skilled installation professionals continues to decline across the industry, opportunities to hear their voices firsthand become increasingly rare. What Bathers bring to these conversations isn’t theory — it’s customer reactions, installation insights, and practical product knowledge drawn from active job sites. It’s the kind of input that leads directly to better products.
At Bathers Meeting 2026, the following milestones and initiatives were shared: the completed trademark registration of “1DAYS Ofuro no 1DAY Reform®”; MEGAVAX’s selection as an ANDPAD AWARD 2026 winner in the DX Company category (ceremony scheduled for June 12, 2026); the launch of KeePer Coating for bathrooms, applying automotive-grade coating technology; a customer satisfaction report from online renovation shop REREPA (overall satisfaction 97.7%, technician ratings 100%, repeat intent 97.7%); and an awards ceremony honoring outstanding Bathers.

Awards — Recognizing Not Just Skill, but Character
Bathers Meeting includes an awards program for Bathers.
The program is designed to recognize more than technical excellence. It shines a light on every dimension of what it means to be a Bather — professional conduct that reflects the brand, the ability to strengthen an entire team, and the drive of newcomers who show rapid growth. Recipients are selected through internal peer nominations, with input from office staff and consultants, ensuring that trust across different roles is part of the evaluation.

The Power of Being in the Room
The unit bath is a housing innovation born in Japan. The people who make it possible are Bathers — through their skill and their commitment on every job site.
Building a track record of trademarked services and DX recognition. Exchanging ideas with manufacturers. Showing up to work in a uniform that carries meaning. What Bathers Meeting shares isn’t just numbers and updates — it’s the culture behind them.
Some things can’t be conveyed through a screen. The intensity of the job site. Honest feedback on a product, delivered face to face. The moment you watch a colleague being recognized for their work, right there in the room.
In a digital age, the value of gathering in person is only growing. Bathers Meeting 2026 made that conviction stronger than ever.
