As Shiyasan pointed out, The Japan MTA Website has posted no dates and places of the coming conference. But I think you can contact them by the EMAIL address posted there. I don't recommend, however, cantacting by the Ashiya physical mail address, because I've heard the professor who took charge there has moved to a college in Kyoto. The Website has links to other Websites of some members, too, one of which has a message board. Anyway, if you can contact an MT scholar living in Kansai area, that one will take care of it at once. Good luck. IIJIMA Ryouta / Ryota Iijima
