This is how our first offline technology event in 3 years was a success - 3 months of success and thank you for your hard work.

Summary:

  • After not holding offline events for 3 years due to COVID-19, decided to organize a large in-person tech event in July 2022. Had to choose venue, set budget, and take safety precautions.
  • Booked venue for 200 people and recruited speakers, including guests like game developers and customers. Promoted through emails and word of mouth.
  • Prepared event website and coordinating speaker info was challenging. Timing was difficult as had to juggle event plans with everyone's busy schedules.
  • Implemented safety measures like social distancing, sanitization, masks, and air circulation. Ensuring attendees felt comfortable participating was crucial.
  • Sharing info and gauging interest for large offline events remains difficult amid COVID-19. But with careful planning, was able to successfully execute an engaging in-person tech event after 3 year hiatus.

(00:01) [music] [applause] [applause] In the story of the organisation of the offline event, I wrote a story about the event.

(01:07) I've written a story about an offline event, and it's about the level of the cat [music], and I'm sure everyone has their own problems [music], and it's about last July. Our one-day events, especially in July 2020, were not held as a matter of course, so [music] we had to prepare for it and there were usually about three of us, but it was like that.

(02:20) Well, I think that there is an event every three months, and then in September, when you think it's about time, suddenly, as is often the case, people find out about the event from an external e-mail, I don't know why. I don't know why, but I've been doing that in the winter, even with my own personal email.

(03:25) I'm not sure why, but in the end, the concept and venue of this event in Japan is decided, and we're all talking about us and Europe. So...

(04:56) [music] [music] [music] When you have to make a hard choice, crime prevention is the most typical thing, and I dislike it a lot.

(07:29) [music] So how do we do that, how much money, as you mentioned earlier [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music

(09:20) [music] [music] [music] [music] [music]

(10:24) So, this month, we're going to have to decide on how we're going to do it, and we're going to have to decide on how we're going to do it, and we're going to have to decide on how we're going to do it, and we're going to have to decide on how we're going to do it, but we're going to have to decide on how we're going to do it. The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your car is to make sure that it's not a car that's going to be used for a long time.

(11:44) [music] [music] And as for casting, we have in-house speakers every week, as I mentioned earlier, so we can get all sorts of people to speak on communication, and this time we're going to have guest speakers, including customer trucks. So we're going to include each of them, but that's all for now.

(13:37) I'm sure you're all doing the same thing as I've described here, sending out emails, but also to people from various sessions and other people, so when you go to talk to your customers, you can ask them to introduce you online. Music] [Music] [Music]

(14:51) [music] Is that timing difficulties [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music].

(16:05) There are many guests, and I'm glad it's the end of the term, but there's one problem here as well, and that's the website. It was obvious, but it's hardly understood.

(18:39) [music] We've tried to make it as easy as possible for you to come and participate, and it's very important that you do this so that you can participate with peace of mind, and so that you can prevent infection. (19:59) In the end, I think it's very important that you do this.

(19:59) In this situation, how to collect and share information is also a very difficult part, [music] and it's very big, and it's going to be very big from now on. [Music] [Music] [Music]
