This announcement is late as well.
The Takanabe Town IoT Conference will be held at the Takanabe Museum of Art in Miyazaki Prefecture on 6/4, and I will appear as the final speaker.
Why Takanabe Town? My father’s family home was relocated in front of the Takanabe Museum of Art and is now used as an office by AIMNEXT. That connection led to my appearance at this event.
Takanabe Town is conducting an interesting IoT demonstration, and a presentation about it is also scheduled for this event.
The theme of my talk is:
IoT Public Infrastructure That Opens the Future
If your schedule permits, please join us.
