Regional Curator
What is a Regional Curator?
Regional Curators are people who have spent years connecting others across the Tokai region — Aichi, Nagoya, Hamamatsu and beyond. Acting as individuals, they use their own networks to pass the spark on to the next person heading for TechGALA. Each curator carries “Ignition Tickets,” passes that get you into TechGALA. Meet a Regional Curator out in the real world, and get yours!

-
Inviting people as individuals, not institutions
From the connections they have built over the years, curators hand Ignition Tickets to the people they want to see at TechGALA. Not an ad, not a mass announcement — their role is to open the door to TechGALA through an invitation from someone whose face you know.

Meet one, and a ticket is yours!
Every Regional Curator carries an “Ignition Ticket” — your way in to TechGALA. If you spot one at a local event or gathering, go say hello. That single ticket is where your TechGALA begins: redeem it for one Visitor Pass, free of charge.
