Hi all, time is flying and we are almost at the end of January
I think that we should have a live meeting to plan the website and open the CFP to give people time plan the trip. I would recommend to host the event Thursday-Friday to avoid the jet-lag and encourage local participation . What do you think ? I gathered some practical information that should be shared ASAP *Flight* According to https://www.momondo.se most common airports have a lower price during 10-17 Jun (Monday - Monday trip) if people want to attend the conference and spend some time in Tokyo or visit Japan. There are 2 major airports Haneda(close to the city) and Narita (1H15 with the Narita Express train to the city) *Accommodation* My colleagues from Sony checked the hotels and provided a good recommendation at https://www.princehotels.com/shinagawa/ (5 Minutes walk to the train station) Other options are https://www.airbnb.com and booking.com to find something that suits your taste *Mobile Data* internet is vital for all of us and can be expensive for visitors. It is commanded to buy a 10 Days Data only SIM from the airport (if you forget to buy ask Alin Jerpelea for opportunities to buy the SIM) *Transportation in Japan* Proffered transportation is train. for payments you can buy tickets or install the SUICA application on your phone to pass the train station gates English language can be used in Tokyo to communicate with people on the street if you need directions If you plan to attend the event please plan in advance to benefit from lower prices and keep us informed so that we can plan the venue and the activities. (+1 is encouraged if you plan to enjoy Japan) Best regards Alin On Sat, Jan 13, 2024 at 2:48 AM Alan C.
