Shoemoney is one of the presenters at an upcoming conference for just 35 lucky attendees. I would love to have the chance to meet these guys and I think the small group format will work well.

Through my Tokyo website I sometimes get requests from companies asking for a translator for their colleagues while they are in Tokyo.
