Welcome to a new decade.. we hope you had a Super Holiday, coming back now rested and ready to for another hectic year. By all accounts the Tech-Tribes Bonenkai in December was a smashing success, with over 400 in the house and we raised 120,000jpy for the inaugural Beers for Bytes cause, many thanks to everyone who made that possible. Based on all the feedback, it seems we should considering running more of these combined gatherings, maybe a Hanami hook-up this spring would be an idea?!? [..]

Many thanks to all who made it out for our Le Jazz at Tableaux event in Daikanyama, it was a fantastic evening at a super venue with an awesome buffet and 200 great people in the house to mix & mingle at the show & tell tables. Looking back on 2009 MoMo Tokyo […]

Ok - whew - we are finally getting back in the swing here with a brand spanking new website and plan for gathering the MoMo Tokyo community together on November 30th. We’ve had tons of great feedback from you after the 5th Anniversary party and will be taking those comments forward on our upcoming events. For starters.. Food! Indeed, as most of us head straight to MoMo from work, hunger is a factor. So, we’ve arranged with the nice folks at Tableaux Lounge for a yummy buffet - that means no greasy fries - at only 1,000jpy per head. Get all the niggly details and be sure to RSVP Here.

It was an honor to have Jari Tammisto, CEO of Mobile Monday OY, here to pass along his best wishes, and the Golden Lion Pin award, along with an energetic delegation visiting from Helsinki and several high-level local reps from the Finnish embassy. Our eternal thanks and praise to everyone who made it an evening to remember. While we all recover from what turned-out to be a very late night, work is already well underway for our next event in November. Meanwhile, stay tuned for several other related updates along the way!

Heads-Up, our next MoMo Tokyo event is July 24 - Yep, it’s a Friday - out at Tokyo Big Sight during the annual Wireless Japan conference and trade show. With 6-weeks notice that’s plenty of time for you to mark the calendar and pass along the news to friends and colleagues. We know most folks will be heading out there anyway so be sure to join us in the belly of the beast!

Ok folks, our upcoming event on May 18th will be an exciting Demo Night styled evening - featuring lightning round show & tell presentations with plenty of interaction afterwards - under the stars on the roof top patio at Zest in Ebisu, so be sure to mark the calendar and tell your colleagues!

We have confirmed speakers coming from Taito to air guitar with their Wii-like Chokkan Games, Find!Tokyo will show-off it’s recently released mega iPhone app. while the good folks from Poken will be High 5′ing around with their groovy Pandas and both MoCoTea and Pikkle will demo their mobile sns services. So, we’ll have something for everybody!

Looking forward to our next event - in late July - lets just say it’s gonna be “Big” and we’ll be sure to shoot all the details your way soon.

A quick follow-up to all from our March event, it was really great to see everyone who made the effort to attend despite their hectic fiscal year-end schedules. If you missed it, we’ll get the presentations uploaded asap. As mentioned, MoMo Tokyo has decided to run bi-monthly events, with a sharp eye on quality, so our next gathering is planned for May 18th under the theme Content is King. We are open to submissions - ping us here - over the next month from companies with interesting offerings and will update this post with the full details in late April.

Our next event is set for March 16th at the Designing Studio with a couple of great presentations and merry mixer afterwards at the Wired Cafe. Considering the ‘current economic situation’, as the fantastic keynote from Anssi Vanjoki (video above) noted recently in Barcelona, we are inspired and agreed - these are the times when winners are made.

A few notes of interest: We are thrilled to announce our co-op on related industry upcoming events with the Inter-Embassy Mobile Forum and the good folks at AdTech. We have added links here for our FaceBook and Linkedin groups while the new MoMo Ambassador team is hard at work planning our next event targeted for May 18th. See you all again soon!
