Join Us in Tokyo for a CoinDesk On Tap Event
We'll be in Tokyo on Monday, October 14 and we'd love to meet up. RSVP today.

CoinDesk will be visiting Tokyo in two weeks and we’d love to meet some of our readers for an informal gathering on Monday, October 14 at 6 p.m.
We haven't chosen the official location yet but are open to suggestions for venues. Please fill out the recommendation form below. In addition to the meetup, we are interviewing locals making an impact in the region. Please include your nominations in the form as well.
Because this isn’t sponsored – we simply want to meet you guys – we’re happy to pick up a few beers and a little food for the group.
Anyone can and should attend and we’d love to talk about your work in crypto, your startups and your ideas. Please fill out this form if you'd like to chat on video about the Japanese ecosystem.
