Tokyo2.0 #4 coming up soon! 9/11

We had more than 50 people at tokyo2point0 #3, the feedback was great and the buzz is going around town about what a cool event this is. Not satisfied. We want to make it even better!
So we have 3 great presentations planned for September. We’ll pack in the info, add a little dose of Q&A and leave plenty of time for networking. Please spread the word to industry professionals or anyone genuinely interested in the latest internet trends. Gotta keep up the quality of the crowd as well

Hope to see you on 11th.

P.S. Companies! Don’t forget that for just 60,000 yen/event you can support the community and make your self feel good by helping us to reduce the door price.

Speaker Summaries

Presenter 1: Hawken King - artmartr

What is artmartr? Artmartr is for artists, galleries and the public alike to rate, buy and sell artwork. Putting art in grasp: We know that galleries and buyers are on the constant look out for new material, similarly artists are looking to get their material on show. Artmartr seperates the wheat from the chaff.

Hawken King (www.hawkenking.com) is a British designer living in Tokyo. He specialises in new-media graphics, illustration and direction, fused to coding and design solutions. For brands big and small. His accomplished commerical illustrations in a multitude of styles and disciplines, and trend setting websites, have lead him to interact with some of the most recognised clients on the planet over the past 10 years.

PRESENTER 2: Yukako Tajee Tajima (amino-tajee.com)

Yukako will talk about how charities can use customer generated media (CGM) to promote their activities.

Yukako works for a podcasting company called Voice-Bank, Inc. and in her own time makes auido/video podcasts to encourage volunteer organizations and eco activisties. She has her own songs on iTunes and proceeds are donated to orphans in Asian countires.

PRESENTER 3: Matthew Romaine - Tools, tips, and lessons learned in developing two web 2.0-inspired services

Come and hear how a two-person designer and developer combo led by Matthew built their first website, miistation.com, the wrath of comments and publicity which followed, and the types of orders which came in. Matthew will then discuss some cultural aspects in Japanese web-services as a strategy to increase users, and how these aspects were applied to their latest project -

(www.2kurabe.com).

Matthew and his team recently began developing websites with a focus on community and user generated content. They aspire to bring a unique touch to Internet service development and design, and to better understand the benefits of interaction strategy and Internet technologies.
