We are happy to announce Qt Japan Summit in Akihabara on Tuesday, May 26 this year. Join us!

Tokyo, Japan: May 26

Last year’s Qt Developer Day Tokyo was a successful event with 300+ attendees joining a full day of technical tracks focused on embedded, desktop, mobile and multi-screen development. With a clear growing interest in Qt, we will return this year to keep the Qt momentum going in Japan and interact with businesses, Qt lovers, supporters and new Qt users.

Japan has been a friend of Qt and champion for the past several years where leading companies in automotive, consumer electronics, robotics & automation have standardized on Qt. We continue to find a bustle of energy from the local community and are grateful for the support. We are excited to position Qt Japan Summit as a part of the Qt World Summit happening later this year where our aim is to continue supporting the Qt Japan ecosystem.

The agenda & registration for the Qt Japan Summit is already available, and we recommend that you stay tuned to our channels including Qt.io/qtjapansummit and the twitter hashtag #QtJS.
