Casual chat about all things cartographic. Bring a project from Japan, or whatever you're building.
Notes
Our eighth meetup, a casual and friendly group of mapping enthusiasts in Tokyo. We’ll be chatting about all things cartographic and mapping, beautiful data visualisations, GIS tech, cool map based projects. What are some projects in Japan you found interesting? What are you working on now? Is your company working on map related tech and interested in giving a demo?
The event is on FabCafe’s second floor, entrance right next to the cafe. To thank our hosts, please buy at least one drink from the first floor cafe and come up. RSVP on Luma.
