[Limited Offer] This is your chance to meet and greet Ben Horowitz

In case you’ve been in deep stealth mode and missed the news, you should know that Ben Horowitz, co-founder and partner of VC firm Andreessen/Horowitz (a16z), is coming to Tech in Asia Tokyo 2015 this September.
And the good news just got better.
Ben will be doing a “meet and greet” after his speaking session on Day 2 of the Tokyo conference (September 9), and signing copies of his bestselling book The Hard Thing About Hard Things.
An account of his fascinating career journey peppered with advice based off the experiences of others, the book addresses the difficult decisions Ben faced as CEO of Opsware, a company he led to a US$1.6 billion acquisition by Hewlett Packard. His brash and honest reflection is a refreshing take in a world of rah-rah-you-can-do-it business books, making it a compelling read for anyone keen to delve deep into the decision making process a tech CEO goes through. If you’re a CEO, aspire to be one at some point in your life, or really, manage a team, you’ve got to get your hands on this book.
40 copies of Ben Horowitz’s The Hard Thing About Hard Things will be given away to Tech in Asia conference attendees, courtesy of Nikkei BP in collaboration with Tech in Asia.
Simply register your passes before August 9 midnight (GMT+8) and stand a chance to be one of the lucky few to receive a copy of the book and meet Ben in person.
