Newton Fest Sets Lecture Lineup for September 25-26 at Shibuya Hikarie
The schedule shows the event leaning on named working researchers and company engineers rather than media personalities, which is the same posture the magazine takes in print.

4X Co., Ltd. will hold Newton Fest, a science event built around the magazine Newton, on 9/25 and 9/26 at Shibuya Hikarie. Admission is free with advance registration. The published timetable lists nine sessions across two days, including astronaut Soichi Noguchi, University of Tokyo professor Taikan Oki, and a Shimadzu session on optical lattice clocks.
The sessions run across two days, with some requiring separate advance registration on top of the general event signup. Day 1 opens with astronaut Soichi Noguchi on human spaceflight and closes with a GENKI LABO talk on building a science career. Day 2 moves through physics, environmental assessment, optical lattice clocks, cetacean research, and ceramic material design, with Newton editor-in-chief Ryu Itakura moderating several sessions. Companies with science technologies will also appear at the venue through panel displays, machine exhibits, and demos.
