Key figures overflowing with "love for Shibuya" gather together! The legendary meetup project "#ShibuyaLover," which was a huge success when it was held in 2023, is finally making a comeback as "#ShibuyaLoverClub"!
Following the kickoff workshop held in July, we are finally holding our first talk event.

This time, the theme is "Innovation x Culture" in Shibuya.

Shibuya has been a crossroads for various players, including startups, art, urban culture, creativity, community, and experimental space-making. From 100BANCH, SHIBUYA QWS, SHIBUYA PIXEL ART, and DIG SHIBUYA, Shibuya has continuously given rise to new questions, expressions, and projects.

So why is Shibuya such a place where new things are easily born?
Why do people feel compelled to conduct experiments in Shibuya?
So, what kind of cultural and innovative seeds will be nurtured in Shibuya going forward?

In this edition of #ShibuyaClub, we'll be welcoming key figures involved in experimental space creation and cultural development in Shibuya to discuss "Shibuya as a breeding ground for new things."

Whether you're already active in Shibuya, planning to start something there, or simply interested in startups, culture, art, and urban development, why not join us in exploring the future of Shibuya not as a spectator, but as a member of the club?

On the day of the event, we'll be distributing "venue-exclusive novelty items" that will let you enjoy the future of Shibuya together! (The contents will be a surprise on the day!)

I'll talk about this.
Why is it easier for new projects to be born in Shibuya?
What kind of changes will experimental space creation bring to the city?
How do art and culture reinvent the appeal of a city?
The appeal of Shibuya, where startups, creativity, and community intersect.
People, activities, and places in Shibuya that we want to shine a light on in the future.
・What kind of relationships can we cultivate as #ShiburabaClub in the future?
