Inquiry Form

Which area shall we exhibit in?
Starting in 2016, areas within the venue will be differentiated by exhibit themes (e.g. Community, Town, Home, etc.). Participating exhibitors are asked to select the most appropriate theme area for the prospective product(s) and/or service(s) to be exhibited. When there are multiple products to be exhibited, it is recommended that an area be selected that will reflect the importance of the primary product.
Can I specify my company's booth location?
Although exhibitors cannot request a desired booth location in advance, it is recommended that applications for the aforementioned be turned in as soon as possible because booth locations will be allotted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
When is the booth location decided?
Allotment of booth locations is scheduled to start from about mid-June in the order of applications received.
Do you accept temporary application?
No, We are afraid we cannot accept temporary application. Please apply when you decide to exhibit.
A group of companies wants to make a joint exhibition.
Select a "representative exhibitor company" who will be responsible to apply and pay the booth fee. The list of exhibitors in the group can be included as a part of exhibitor information by filling in a joint participation registration form with exhibitor names, which can be obtained from the Exhibitor Site announced after applying.
How can I conduct a seminar?
We are seeking Conference Sponsors, who can participate in CEATEC JAPAN through conferences. Please contact the management office for details. If you are an exhibitor, you are eligible to hold seminars free of charge at special stage setup inside the exhibition halls.

When is the deadline for changing the requested exhibit theme area or the number of booths?
It is possible to make changes until May 31 (JST). And as a general rule, changes to the number of booths or exhibit theme area will not be accepted after June 1st because area allocation is scheduled to begin in mid-June. Additionally, for participants submitting requests after June 1st, the date the application is received will be changed to the requested date of the change to booth numbers and/or theme area. Therefore, if there is a possibility that changes will be made it is highly recommended that you contact us by the end of May.

Of the three ways to submit applications (online, fax, or email), will any one of these be given priority over the other?

Please inform us as to when we will be billed and when payment has to be made after applying.
You will receive an invoice statement after your application is confirmed and exhibition booth fees will need to be paid between April and Friday, July 29, 2016. Other fees such as electricity, etc. that can only be calculated after the exhibition has concluded will be billed to you at a later date.

What exactly is the Special Exhibits area going to be like? And what companies will be allowed to exhibit in this area?
The details of the Special Exhibits area are currently being decided on. Further information on this and other areas will be made available on the Official Website and mail magazine.
What if an identical fax and/or email are received for a same booth location allotment? Which should be chosen first?
The order of allotment is based on exhibit areas specified by the Executive Committee so it is not anticipated that two submissions at the exact same time for identical exhibit areas will be received. However, in such an unlikely situation, the Management Office will decide between the two exhibitors by considering the number of times they have participated in the past and other criteria.
When can exhibitors start booth installation?
