Speakers

Yuta Aoki

Since the earthquake that hit Japan in 2011, Yuta has been obsessed with communities. He’s now the managing director of a coworking space, BIRTH LAB, and the founder of the Japan Coworking space and Community manager Organization (JCCO).

BIRTH LAB is your typical coworking experience alongside event spaces and a studio. It’s part of the birth brand which also offers offices, housing, bike parking, and partnerships.
