Summary
A small-group conversation for software engineers, held over coffee near Shibuya Station. The group is deliberately kept to 4 to 6 people so everyone gets to speak, and the point of the gathering is to exchange ideas and pick up perspectives from engineers outside your own workplace. Attendance is screened rather than open. Registrants share a LinkedIn profile through the sign-up question or by direct message to the organizer, and approvals come off a waitlist once that profile has been reviewed. The event is for software engineers only, and conversation runs in English, though fluency is not required. The scheduled block runs from 15:00 to 16:30, and attendees are free to keep talking afterwards. The exact venue near Shibuya Station is shared once registration is confirmed. Anyone who signs up and later cannot attend is asked to cancel early so the spot can go to someone else.
