Core77

In two weeks (Friday June 8 & Saturday June 9) the Japan Society in New York will be hosting a two-day symposium on design and technology in Japan. The line up is great, featuring presenters from Toyota, Motorola, Panasonic, WIRED, Harvard Business School and others. The event will include a healthy dose of robotics, including a concert by a robotic orchestra. The best part is that Core77 readers can get FREE tickets. To do so email Ryohei (ryamamoto-at-japansociety.org) and simply ask for the ticket. The first 20 respondents get them.

The event is part of Tech Epoch - an 11-day summit showcasing Japan's technological innovation, with interactive demonstrations, cutting-edge robotics, innovative automotives, multimedia performances, lectures, symposia, and family and student workshops. Various events are taking place throughout NYC in the first two weeks of June.
