Venture Beat Networking Party June 2008 in Tokyo

V

On Wednesday, I took part in the Venture Beat Networking Party again. Japan’s Mixi in human form, Hisashi “Sam” Katsuya from IBM Japan, was kind enough to invite me (and believe me, this man knows EVERYONE in the Japanese IT world).

The “closed” event (invitation only) is backed by CNET Japan and was completely star-studded, as always.

It was great fun, and famous designer Naoki Sakai held a unique and very cool presentation on product design. Check out Sakai-san’s personal web site in English here.

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera but I will do that better next time for sure! Katsuya-san’s blog posting includes some great pictures though.

Here is my posting on the March event.
