Agenda



Design is not only about shape, color and balance, going much deeper than simple appearance. Good designs increase the amount of trust visitors have in your website/product and ultimately your business. On the other hand, bad designs send users away to alternatives. 

UI/UX MATTERS. It matters for conversion rates, sales increase, and therefore impacts your business directly.
The Justa × Samurai Incubator collaboration event is here to help you to improve your UI/UX concepts. Join us and learn from the best! Learn the methodologies with live cases.
 
Our honored guests are the global strategic design from Designit, Reaktor creative technology company, and the local design gurus of UI/UX Tokyo Market Event!
 
Foods and drinks will be provided!!
 
※Whole event will be held in English.
