Atrenta Technology Forum, Japan

The 1st Atrenta Technology Forum in Japan (well, it used to be the user group meeting, so it’s only the first in a very technical sense) is next week on July 19th from 1pm until 5.15pm. It will be held in the Shin-Yokohama Kokusai Hotel (how to access it here).

In the unlikely event that non-Japanese are reading this blog, here’s the story about Shin-Yokohama (“shin” means new in Japanese. And Chinese as it happens: Hsinchu). When they built the first of what people in the US call bullet trains and are prosaically called shinkansen (new line) in Japan, it was impractical to route it through Yokohama station, so they built a brand new station in the middle of rural fields outside Yokohama and that was Shin-Yokohama Station. That was in the early 1960s. Since then a whole new town, Shin-Yokohama has grown up around it.
