About This Event

Spectrum Tokyo is all about new design trends and digging into broader perspectives in technology and design.

This meetup is where designers (and non-designers) gather to talk randomly about design, share ideas, and casually connect. We feel that the local designers have little chance to speak English and interact with international talents, which is such a loss of opportunity in many ways.

The theme of this Meetup is “Tell us about your latest passion in Design.”
When it comes to business, everything is design—this is one of the guiding principles of Spectrum Tokyo since its inception.

From organizational and service design to UI design that shapes user touchpoints, to branding design that crafts a company’s image—nine passionate speakers will take the stage to share the designs they are currently immersed in.

This event will be a hybrid of English and Japanese presentations. Whether you’re more comfortable in Japanese or English, we hope everyone can support each other and enjoy a bit of language exchange through design-related discussions.

We will be using PowerX, Inc. office for this meetup
