About This Event

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

At Spectrum Tokyo Meetup, people from various design-related fields—designers, directors/PMs, engineers, and more—come together to connect and share insights. The event features lightning talks on design in its many forms, creating opportunities to meet new people in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Think of it as a casual get-together rather than a formal gathering.

While our meetups are usually held in Tokyo, this time we’re bringing it to Kanazawa, Ishikawa! Whether you’re based in the Ishikawa area or traveling from elsewhere, we’d love to see you there.

This event will be conducted in both Japanese and English to ensure a diverse range of participants can engage. There will be attendees who are fluent in either Japanese or English, so we encourage everyone to support each other and enjoy a bit of language exchange while discussing all things design!
