Notice and Apology
Prof. Arai had been invited to give a presentation, originally scheduled for Jan. 28th and he had made all the necessary arrangements for his speech.
However, when we finalized the timetable, we changed his session date to Jan. 27th and failed to inform him of this change.
As a result, he couldn't come and had to cancel his speech.
We would like to express our deepest regrets and apologies to Prof. Arai and all the participants for our mismanagement.
We assure you that this kind of error will never happen again.
Sincerely,
General Chairman
