Oedo-sen would be handy if you come from stations like Roppongi, Shiodome or Shimbashi. JR would be useful if you're from Tokyo, Shinjuku or other JR stations.
All video files are available on i-revo site (as WMV streaming) and Google Video (as Flash/DivX/MP4) and actually integrated with our Sessions details page. You can find the session you'd like to watch again, or didn't attend to during the conference from the timetable and watch videos inline, using Google Video embeded flash player.
We created Videocast feed for MP4 files as well, so you can download movie files and syncronize them to mobile devices like iPod or PSP. Just drop the link to iTunes, Democracy or whatever your favorite media player.
Tons of thanks to i-revo for their great work on ripping and encoding movie files.
Enjoy!
]]>The feed is now imported on Odeo as well so you can listen to the recordings just on your favorite browsers without actually downloading the files.
Enjoy the recordings with Slides from the talks. We're currently working on the video recordings as well, which will be available on i-revo site and Google Video.
Thanks to Tsuda Hall staff and folks from i-revo for recording and ripping audio files!

If you paid via PayPal, bring the copy of the receipt online. If you pay at the venue, just say your name and pay 4500 JPY there.
See you soon!

]]>Since there are a couple of slots available, we are extending the deadline for a few days. If you have something in your mind to talk about in 5 minutes, submit your proposal now.
]]>Thanks to our sponsors, the food there are FREE and all we need from you is a fee for drinks, which is 1500 Yen. Due to the capacity limitation of the restaurant, we need to call RSVPs for the party. If you're interested, sign up using the web form.

The party wil be held April 4th, 7:30 pm at ジョン万次郎 アトレ信濃町店 (John Manjiro, Shinano-cho). You need to pay the fee in the YAPC::Asia registration, not in the restaurant.

Oh, by the way, the 350 tickets have been sold out and we're now officially closing the registration. See you in Tokyo in a few weeks!
]]>We re-imported the audio files on Odeo. It has Podcast feeds and flash based audio player so that you can listen to the session on your favorite web browser.
The video files are on Archive.org and I found that recently they added a new beta flash player feature, which also allows you to watch videos without actually downloading the whole content.
Slides for the talks are available on the Wiki page.
We're working hard to make sure that we can distribute audio/video files this year as well, sometime after the conference. But note that it doesn't mean you don't need to come to the conference venue. Nothing is compared to the experience of being in the venue, talking face-to-face with folks from everywhere Japan and all over the world.
]]>If you haven't done, go register the conference now.
UPDATE: We're going to close the registration on March 15th 23:59, Japanese standard time.
]]>We publish iCal files for sessions (Kudos to Taichi Kaminogoya for his MT-fu) as well, so that you can subscribe to the schedule using iCal, Sunbird, 30boxes or Google Calendar.
You might notice that some talks are marked as TBD and some speakers' proflie are empty. We're working on updating the data and I hope it will be completed anytime soon.
]]>If you consider visiting to Tokyo for this YAPC but are still looking for the accommodation, go check out the recommended hotels near the venue.
(Note: This registration form is only for international attendees and people having difficulties buying tickets online. Japanese attendees should buy tickets from Lawson Ticket)
We're looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo!
