Welcome to Video Dev Days 2019
The VideoLAN non-profit organization is happy to invite you to the multimedia open-source event of the summer!
For its eleventh edition, people from the VideoLAN and open source multimedia communities will meet in Tokyo to discuss and work on the future of the open-source multimedia community.
This is a very technical conference, focused on low-level multimedia.
Traveling to Japan
You should consider staying a bit longer to Japan, if you can afford a few extra days.
You should take care of your passport and, if applicable, your visa very quickly!
Rémi has written a short guide about that: traveling advice for Japan.

If you want VideoLAN to sponsor your trip, you should read the Sponsorship Policy.

Means of payment
Japan remains a cash country. VISA and MasterCard cards are not universally accepted. Instead you will need to withdraw cash from an international ATM. You can find them in 7-11 convenience stores, and at office hours, in Japanese post offices.
Be sure to check your bank fees on foreign withdrawals and foreign payments before you leave. For instance, debit card fees are typically lower than credit fees. For safety of mind, you may exchange a 20,000 or 30,000 JPY in advance from your local bureau de change. Be sure to compare fees and avoid airport bureaux as their rates are usually awful.
For day-to-day small transactions, you should procure a Suica (from JR East) or Passmo (from Tokyo Metro) near-field payment card. It can be used not only for public transports, but also convenience stores and many shops. For large transactions at hotels, you can use your debit or credit card.
Power supply
In Tokyo the electrical supply is:
- Voltage: 100 V
- Frequency: 50 Hz
This is different from almost anywhere else, so check the markings on your electrical adapters before you come.
Power sockets follow the Type A standard, the same as in North America. They are physically incompatible with European and Commonwealth connectors. So if you come from Ye Olde Continent, you will need passive adapters. Buy adapters BEFORE YOU COME!!! In Japan, you will mostly find adpaters for Japanese going to Europe, not for Europeans coming to Japan.
Also note that Western Japan uses 60 Hz, so look out for that if you will be visiting Kansai.
Internet
Please bring your own internet.
