Mobile Monday Tokyo – 1st Birthday Bash
Summer break’s over, and MoMo Tokyo is back to rock your socks! It seems like only yesterday that we announced our debut event But that was last September — a lifetime in the mobile space — and we’ve since grown from bottle-feed darlings to lovable little monsters getting our fingers into everybody’s (wireless) business! Our 1st Birthday Bash on 5th September will have plenty of room for everyone — including well-wishers from the ACCJ — at the uber-trendy loft-style Warehouse Club in Azabu-Juban. The evening includes presentations from Opera Japan and FreeVerse Partners, with a super buffet by the good folks at Corporate Gourmet. Cya there.. 😎
