News Feed - 2019-10-10 09:10:53

CoinDesk will be in Tokyo and we’re excited to meet our readers on Monday, October 14 at 6 p.m.


CoinDesk Japan will be hosting this informal event.


We’re counting on our readers to nominate a great central location for this meetup – and one that’s weather-proof, as we know there’s a big typhoon expected for Monday.


Please fill out the recommendation form below for your venue choice – yes, karaoke bars count!


CoinDesk Video will also be interviewing Tokyoites making an impact on crpyto in the region. Please include your nominations in the form, as well.


This will not be a formally sponsored event – we simply want to meet you! – but CoinDesk is happy to pick up a few rounds of drinks and bar food for the group.


All CoinDesk readers are invited and we hope to learn about your work in crypto, your startups and your ideas. Please fill out this form if you’d like to chat on video about the Japanese ecosystem.


If you have any questions or concerns you can email dasha@coindesk.com or ping her at @dariasukovatitsyn on Telegram. Anyone can and should attend.
