I will be appearing at the Information Processing Society of Japan Intensive Seminar “Toward a Privacy-Friendly Society,” to be held on Thursday, November 30, from 13:30.

Other than me, the speakers are a truly distinguished group, and we plan to discuss privacy from a variety of perspectives—not only technology, but also law, society, and business.
In particular, this is a rare opportunity because Professor Kiyoshi Murata, who researches business ethics at Meiji University, gives very few lectures in Japan!

The price is a little on the high side for Japan, but I would be delighted if you would join us and use this as an opportunity to think about privacy together.

【Date and Time】
Thursday, November 30, 2017, 13:30–17:30 [Registration: from 13:00, in front of the venue]

【Overview】
Have you ever considered offering an IT-enabled service, only to abandon the idea
because someone raised the single objection, “What about privacy?”
This seminar will directly address the concept of privacy and deepen the discussion
of precisely what the issues are and what approaches can be adopted to provide users
with privacy-friendly services.
