IT study events in Japan = massive

It's actually amazing how Japanese developers hosts so many study groups and study meetups and conferences. This is a screenshot of IT Study group calendar.

If you look closely at the number of meetups during the weekends, there are 36 events on 2/4, 41 on 2/11, 56 on 2/18, 60 on 2/25....

This is the schedule for today- 9/29. There's just so many options, so many events, and this is tech/IT event only. There's actually 50 in just one day.

 

It's just so hard to see what's happening just looking at this summary since there's way too many tech events in just one day, so I opened it up as follows. Among the 50 events in just one day today, of which half is Tokyo/Kanto area. I won't translate the whole thing, but translated parts of it so that you know what technology it is about (like Android, Perl, Ruby event etc).
