SF Japan Night Semi-final to be held in Tokyo on Oct. 8
On October 8, 2011, btrax will be holding the semi-final event for the 3rd SF Japan Night in Shinagawa, Tokyo at the Microsoft-Japan office. For the event, we pre-selected 12 high-potential companies that will be presenting their web/mobile services in English followed by Question/Answer(QA) sessions with four industry-leading judges including a writer to TechCrunch, Venture Capitalists, and the CEO of btrax. We are expecting a great turnout for both events so register early.
