Past Event Case Study
Company Anniversary Event
Venue: 7th floor hall (Whole)
A neighboring company hosted its landmark event, the 100th Anniversary Appreciation Gathering, at Namba SkyO.The first part featured a Commemorative Rakugo Performance, in which three Kamigata Rakugo performers presented their signature storytelling acts.The second part was a Networking Reception, organized as a standing buffet-style party.More than 120 participants—including company representatives and invited guests—came together to celebrate this significant milestone marking the company’s 100 years of history.
A key factor in the success of the commemorative event was the smooth operation of the Rakugo performance, which served as the main program of the celebration.Our hall staff—who have extensive experience in hosting Rakugo events—took the lead in providing clear guidance and attentive support to address the client’s requests and concerns. We also carefully prepared the essential elements unique to Rakugo performances, including the setup of the koza (performer’s stage), ensuring that every detail was arranged with professionalism and cultural sensitivity.
Corporate Business-Matching and Networking Event
Venue: 7th floor hall (Half)
A joint business matching event for innovative startups and companies from Japan and overseas was held in our 7th‑floor hall.On the previous day, a corporate exhibition titled DocoDemo Festival Osaka (DD Fes) took place at Namba Square, located directly in front of the hall.The hall was used as the dedicated business meeting area, with a total of 29 companies setting up individual booths for B2B discussions.Organizers highly appreciated the venue’s outstanding accessibility—directly connected to Namba Station—and the convenient, easy-to-navigate route from Namba Square, where the exhibition was held.
