I am a freelancer in Osaka and would like to organize a powwow for the Osaka/Kansai members. I am planning to find a place in or near Namba, Osaka, for a meet and greet function.
The date planned is currently June 20th, at 1pm, and the event should be open to any translators/interpreters of any languages operating in the Osaka/Kansai area.
If you see this event and know anyone that might be interested, please let them know about it.

Prospective Attendees,
After spending a lovely vacation at my in-laws, I am now back in Japan.
I will begin working in earnest on planning this event from the end of this week or the beginning of the next.
At this time, I foresee at least 10 attendees, including folks not registered on ProZ, but I am looking to nail down the number of attendees as we approach the event.

I'll be in touch soon,
Tom ▲ Collapse

Hi Thomas,
You state the event start at 13:00 but you booked the restaurant from 15:00 to 17:00. Which is right?

I'd like to thank Tom for organizing the event. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting fellow translators. The evening of July 25 sounds good to me for the next meeting.
