Under-the-Radar Exchange Event Promises Networking Opportunities for Entertainment Professionals

Discover New Opportunities at the "Entertainment Ura-Kata Lounge"

On February 10, 2026, a unique exchange event known as the "Entertainment Ura-Kata Lounge" will take place in Shibuya, organized by LLC RK in collaboration with Shishidogumi. This event aims to connect individuals who work behind the scenes in the entertainment industry—all those involved in production, operations, streaming, design, advertising, and more.

With an increasing number of participants expressing a preference for evening events, the organizers have added a special evening gathering titled "Entertainment Ura-Kata Night." This evening session will feature light snacks and drinks to enhance networking opportunities.

Purpose of the Event

The entertainment industry often encounters issues related to the lack of direct interactions between behind-the-scene workers. When knowledge and contacts become overly specialized, collaboration can suffer. Recognizing the need for stronger connections during a time of constant change in the industry, this event was designed to facilitate new partnerships, ideas, and innovations.

Features of the Event

1. Quick Introductions to Encourage Interaction

All attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a brief self-introduction lasting fifteen seconds. This format promotes a friendly atmosphere, making it easier to strike up conversations even among strangers.

2. Concierge Service for Strategic Connections

For those unsure about who to approach, a concierge service at the reception will assist in facilitating meaningful introductions based on specific interests and needs.

3. Fostering Collaborations through Connections

By establishing connections among various roles within the entertainment sector, the event aims to create a space where challenges can be addressed and collaborations spring forth.
