• The figures above are calculated from visitors in 2012 and include concurrent fairs.
We consistently count visitor registration numbers clearly and stringently based on the following philosophy and principles. • Fundamental Philosophy of the Total Visitor Number Announcement
1. The number of visitors will be stated honestly and will not be inflated. This is our duty to exhibitors. 2. The inflation of visitor numbers is a misrepresentation of the contents of the exhibition and fraudulent to the exhibitors. 3. The number of visitors and also the counting method will be stringently announced in writing shortly after the exhibition.
• Three Major Principles of the Counting Method
1. One business card submitted at the on-site registration counter is counted as one visitor. 2. Once registered, a visitor is counted only once, no matter how many times and days they enter the exhibition. 3. Counting the visitors each time they pass through the entrance is regarded as an actual inflation of the figures, therefore, this counting method is prohibited.
Show Management will set appointments between overseas exhibitors and Japanese buyers before the show.
➡ You can meet important buyers very easily! <Outline>
1. 2. 3. 4.
Exhibitors send their product information with photo images to the Show Management. Show Management produces exhibitor information sheet and send it to buyers. Show Management sets appointments between buyers and exhibitors. Show Management inform exhibitors and prepare the special business discussion space inside the venue. We set appointments for you.
