International developers, even those who don't speak Japanese, can be a great source of talent for your company. When you have a product that targets the Japanese market though, you need native Japanese speakers as well. This can result in companies where the development team is quite culturally diverse, while everyone else is primarily Japanese. At this event, we'll hold a group discussion about how you approach the challenges that this creates.

Who this event is for

Whatever your job title is, be it CTO, head of engineering, lead developer, or something else, you're the top technical person in your organization. While you once spent most of your time coding, these days you're consumed with things like hiring developers, communication with other stakeholders, and improving processes. Because this event is based around peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, we ask you only participate if you're in such a position. If you're unsure whether this event is for you, please get in touch with us first.

Organizer

Paul McMahon is the representative director of Doorkeeper Inc. He also runs the Tokyo Dev Mailing List, that helps companies find talented international developers.
