4) How to arrange online meetings?
An online 1:1 meeting is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners in face-2-face talks. 30 minutes run fast but it is enough to build first connections. Via this platform you can have online 1:1 meetings with the startups, but also with panelists, organisers or other attendees of the event.
The booking of meetings opens a few weeks before the event. Meetings through this platform can be scheduled for the entire period of 25 Nov to 5 Dec. It is advised to book your meetings as early as possible!
Onsite 1:1 meetings can only be booked for 4 Dec, 13:00 - 17:00 JST, and will take place at the event location in Tokyo.
Meetings need to be accepted by the person who receives the request. The receiver selects a time that both parties have selected as available. It is therefore important to set your availability for online meetings at the time of your registration. Once registered, you can edit your availability anytime here.
