IPv6 Business Summit was held in Tokyo on February 16th at Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku. It is one of the two IPv6-related events, along with IPv6 Technical Summit held in December last year. While Technical Summit focused on the technology aspects of IPv6, Business Summit explored business opportunities of IPv6 in various industries.

The summit attracted about 4,000 pre-registered attendees. An additional room was set up to accommodate those who could'nt enter the original conference session room for video livecast. The fact indicates strong interest among general business people in IPv6 technology.
