A small, founder & creator gathering in Japan.

We're bringing together a tight circle of founders, designers, and builders for a different kind of event. An intimate, single-track event for builders, designers, and founders—hosted in Japan, early 2026. Limited to ~50 people.

No giant expo halls. No endless tracks. Just a shared experience—a room of 50 people, great talks, good food, and time to actually connect.

Why Japan?

Because it's magic. Because it's overdue. And because there's never been a better time to reawaken this community on the other side of the world.

What to Expect

• Single-track talks → everyone in the same room, same experience
• Family-friendly options → bring your crew; activities for families will be part of the trip
• Local + global mix → founders, designers, & creators from Japan and abroad
• Casual vibe → not corporate, not over-produced, just real people making cool things

Who’s Behind It
