This year’s program takes a deeper look at a wider range of topics in approximately 70 talk sessions. While the first day's sessions will mainly focus on technologies under the theme "Engineering," the second day will offer a practical perspective to product development under the theme "Production" with topics such as web service technologies, UI/UX, and project management. Guest speakers include Shun-ichi Amari (internationally renowned figure in information geometry and Senior Advisor of the RIKEN Brain Science Institute), Hiroshi Tokumaru (analyzing vulnerabilities, providing consultation, and raising public awareness on security as the representative director of EG Secure Solutions, a company that specializes in web application security), Takayuki Fukatsu (representative director of THE GUILD, UI/UX designer, and interactive design engineer), and other notable figures from Japan and abroad who will be lecturing on their field of expertise.
