As part of my trip to Japan for the Fujitsu SSP Convention, I’ve been asked to put together a video diary. Whilst not the norm for me, I’m having a go at it all the same, so I hope you enjoy these snippets!
Be warned that you’ll find no Spielberg quality editing, witty banter, or special effects, but you’ll hopefully get some impression of what a trip to the SSP Convention means – and if you’re a Fujitsu employee, you might even want to apply for the next event?!
All videos are currently being posted as quickly as possible, but I do have a lot of photos to include in this blog post which explain things in better detail – on my return to the UK, these will also be uploaded and put into the timeline.
LATEST UPDATE: Impressed by the airport robot, we just had to video it – find it at the bottom of the page!
