Summary
Thursday Gathering #402 is Venture Café Tokyo's weekly innovation gathering on October 29, held at CIC Tokyo on the 15th floor of Toranomon Hills Business Tower. The evening combines a lineup of sessions on startups, technology, and the wider innovation ecosystem with open networking among founders, investors, researchers, corporate innovators, and anyone curious about building things in Japan.
The event runs from 16:00 to 21:00. Check-in is on the 1st floor of the tower (near Starbucks), where attendees receive a QR code to enter the 15th-floor venue. Registering for the event in advance speeds up check-in, and registering for individual sessions secures a seat for in-person-only sessions or allows joining hybrid sessions online.
