We're counting on our readers to nominate a great central location for this meetup - and one that's weather-proof, as we know there's a big typhoon expected for Monday.

CoinDesk Video will also be interviewing Tokyoites making an impact on crypto in the region. Please include your nominations in the form, as well.
This will not be a formally sponsored event – we simply want to meet you! – but CoinDesk is happy to pick up a few rounds of drinks and bar food for the group.
All CoinDesk readers are invited and we hope to learn 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.
