Tokyo 2.0 June 2009: Language and the Web

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

Shack here. We celebrated the second anniversary of Tokyo 2.0 Monday, with the biggest meetup in the history of the event. Some of the attendance was probably due to Geeks on a Plane, Dave McClure's traveling band of VC's and innovators.

There were some great presentations...

...a huge crowd...

...and excellent networking, in the small amount of downtime between presentations. I met some VC's from the bay area, had some conversations about the state of venture capital and angel investment in Asia, and caught up with buddies from the Tokyo tech world. The crowd was a little bigger and louder than optimal for deep conversation, but it was still a great time.

Dominic and I are on the steering committee for Tokyo 2.0, and we'll be working together on the July event. It's a great chance to learn something and start building a network here, so if you've got Monday, July 13th free, come on down to Super Deluxe at 6:30!

For more photos and thoughts from the event, head over to my personal blog, Shack in Japan.
