You’re invited to MoMo Tokyo’s 2nd Anniversary Event on 25 September 2006, at KDDI’s fabulous Designing Studio (freshly updated with touch & try examples of au’s newly announced handsets). We also look forward to introduce our new sponsor: Robert Leonard Consulting, who – along with continued support from Jonckers Translation & Engineering – make our Tokyo events possible. Huge Thanks to all for the last 2-years!
It’s our birthday, so we’ve decided to change the evening’s format from the usual presentations and present a special expert mobile panel, who will field your free-flow open-mike questions and provide fantastic insight based on the theme of “Japan Mobile: Past, Present and Future”
And since MoMo Tokyo is well into the ‘Terrible Twos’ era, we’ve decided that input from the local community would be in order to help us navigate direction of the community. Accordingly, we’ll ask you to fill out quick feedback form on arrival at the venue in exchange for the ever-popular ‘free’ drink ticket.
Finally, a quick follow-up to last month’s ‘The Heat is On’ event: thanks to the good folks from the eNews team at IFRA Germany who attended and, by all accounts, enjoyed their evening with MoMo followed by a super study week in Tokyo. Yoroshiku!
