Thank you all participants for joining us at IJET-33 in Fukuoka last weekend. As JAT official account announced after the registration closed, we had more than 200 registrations 👏 and the participants came from not only Fukuoka city but also all over Japan and even overseas. The event was thriving throughout the three days, with a variety of inspiring sessions 🗣️ and networking lunch and banquet 🥂.
It was very nice seeing lots of colleagues again and catching up on our “lost time” because of COVID. I participated in the event from Hiroshima and it was also great that I was able to connect with those who also came from Hiroshima and whom I hadn’t known yet. I also got to know people with whom I interact over social media but haven’t met in person before, and also got connected with new colleagues. Thank you for saying hello to me ✨, and sorry that we couldn’t talk that much as I was one of the organizing committee members and kind of busy for tasks on the days.
I also gave a talk together with Rie Sakaguchi (Thank you!) on the last day. It was very nice to have so many audience and receive questions. I hope our session was inspiring to develop business ideas 💡.
I also appreciate the all session speakers and sponsors who supported IJET-33.
I hereby also would like to thank the all of colleagues who join JAT events including this IJETs. It’s been a very fruitful time for me to serve as a JAT volunteer. At the IJET-33, what made me very happy was that many IJET first-timer, with whom I chatted, shared their wonderful experiences at the event and gave positive feedback. I was also happy to find colleagues for a variety of language pairs (DE, FR, CH, MY…) besides English.
I hope to see you again at next IJETs (and hopefully we have more time to enjoy chatting as I join most likely as a regular participant lol.
Now the event is over so I feel kind of void in my heart… 🙂
