Mobile Monday Tokyo June 13th Event Report

It was great to get everyone together for a few pints and hear some really interesting presentations, see .pdfs below, about what folks are doing in the post 311 Japan quake crisis. While we didn’t pull a huge crowd, due in part to the schedule conflict with Startup Dating Vol. 9 running at the same time, but it was a super keen group of 100+ people who made the effort to attend = Thanks to you all.

While the room was certainly buzzing, with plenty of sharp folks and passion for the cause, this was not a round-table meet with secretary recording the minutes. Perhaps not surprisingly we are left wondering – now what? – how to harness all of that positive goodwill energy into valuable outputs.

As fate would have it, our original FaceBook Group has been scheduled to be archived, So, we have just created a new Mobile Monday Tokyo Page. That space would seem to be the most simple way to get some good discussions going with regards to potential next steps. We will add a few of the thoughts collected already, setup a poll or two to get your feedback, and let things run there for July to see what the community members think.

Meanwhile, we are still very much hoping to have Tokyo Tech Tribes related project and are now planning to get back into the usual event routine by mid-Sept. with a major app. developer focused theme running on our 7th birthday! As always, Contact Us anytime.
