Business Networking & Gaming Weekend Event

About This Event

This is a past event

Are you interested in business & entrepreneurship? How about board games & card games?

Strange combination? We actually believe the two mix phenomenally well!

Not only are they both super-fun – but both also require and help hone the same skills – strategic and adaptive thinking, resource management, careful planning, risk taking, conflict resolution – AND, most of all – social interaction.

To test our theory (but really just because we want to have a blast and meet as many of you as possible), we’ve decided to throw together Japan’s very first Business Networking & Gaming Weekend!

Dates & Venue

The event will be held on 10, 11 & 12 December, 2021 (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) at the gorgeous Hotel Montan in Hakata, Fukuoka – a trendy city hotel with a fabulous lounge area, private conference/gaming rooms, and spacious guest rooms.

Who Should Attend?

Interest and/or experience in either business and/or gaming is NOT a pre-requisite! You will find everyone in attendance, from experienced business-folks seeking to unleash their inner geek, to avid gamers thinking about starting their first business, and anyone in between.

We invite you to mingle, network with like-minded people, learn more about business, try your hand at board & card games, form social connections – and simply enjoy yourself, as you see fit and as suits your interests.

The Games

We will be providing, teaching and helping you play a wide variety of games, from entry level social games like “Exploding Kittens” and “Forbidden Island” through mid-range brain twisters like “Carcassonne” and “The Isle of Cats” all the way to deeply involved strategy games like “Black Rose Wars” and “Nemesis”.
