Summary
Thursday Gathering is the weekly open evening run by Venture Cafe Tokyo at CIC Tokyo in Toranomon Hills Business Tower. Edition #396 runs from 16:00 to 21:00 JST, with check-in on the first floor and the venue itself on the 15th floor.
The evening is built around a program of parallel sessions: talks, panels, and workshops covering startups, technology, investment, and the wider innovation ecosystem in Japan, interleaved with open networking time. Sessions run in both Japanese and English, and the crowd mixes founders, engineers, investors, corporate innovation staff, students of the ecosystem, and newcomers to Tokyo.
Registration is required through the Register to Event button on the event page. Remote attendance is supported: once the gathering starts, a Join Remotely button appears under each session in the session list, available to anyone who registered.
