Learning of Tomorrow [Event Announcement] 20th Online Symposium: “What Did Tokyo Shoseki Do During the COVID-19 Pandemic? What Will It Do After GIGA?” Next week’s Learning of Tomorrow Online Lunch Symposium, titled “What Did Tokyo Shoseki Do During the COVID-19 Pandemic? What Will It Do After GIGA?”, will feature a presentation by Toru Kawase, a director at Tokyo Shoseki.
There are so many fascinating initiatives I’d love to hear about that when I asked Ms. Kawase, “Could you tell me about this and that?,” she replied with a list that was three times as long as what I’d originally requested. I’d love to have about three hours, but I’ll bite my tongue and ask her to condense her talk into just one hour.
We hope you'll join us.
I'm looking forward to it!
