I recently got my hands on some photos that were taken during the Tokyo SOA Architect Forum, and Japanese ESB book launch event, which I wrote about here. Here are a few of them –

The crowd listens to simultaneous translators using headphones.

Osaka-San (General Manager of Sonic Japan) and Dave Peter (DP-San, VP Sales for Sonic A-Pac region) do the ceremonial thank you and closing of the event.

The ensuing cocktail reception / launch party for the Japanese translation of the ESB book.

Doing the business card thing while one of the translators stands by to provide assistance.

Osaka-San and DP-San work the crowd.
