Salesforce World Tour Tokyo 2019
In the seventh year in a row, Empire's Tokyo office had the opportunity to produce the leading Japanese IT event for Salesforce Japan. Salesforce.com this year hosted over 13,000 attendees for a two full days of sessions, expos and events taking place at both the Prince Park Tower and Tokyo Prince Hotel. This exciting event once again gathered the leaders in the IT industry from around Japan to Tokyo where the latest in software, technology and ideas were showcased.
This year’s keynote speakers included Parker Harris (Co-Founder & CTO Salesforce) and Shinichi Koide (Chairman, President & CEO Salesforce Japan) along with many illustrious speakers from in and outside of Japan.
This year’s exhibition hall also enjoyed a similar amount of energy as last year with 86 sponsors in total. The Tokyo Prince Hotel, located next to the Prince Park Tower, showcased the Trailblazer Zone, which had large rebranded elements throughout the various zones and served as the main hub for developer experts.
Empire’s Tokyo-based Asia division was responsible for all event design, production and management, including technical production and coordination and continues to support Salesforce in showcasing the latest in technology and cloud services. Empire is a leading producer of global conferences and events in the Asian region and serves as the partner of choice for some of the world’s most sophisticated technology companies to produce their premier business events.
Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.
A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.
Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience. The keynote and breakout sessions were livestreamed through an onsite studio built for this purpose and content was watched online by millions around the world.
Empire is proud to collaborate with Microsoft on this annual, top-tier business communication event.
