You may apply for changes until May 31 (Wed.); changes to the exhibit area after June 1 (Thu.) will not be accepted in general.
There is no specific deadline for changing the number of booths, but please note the following

1. Depending on the timing of the change, it may not be possible to change the number of booths as requested.

Can I apply on a provisional basis?

We do not officially accept provisional applications due to the fact that applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. However, we will be happy to discuss this with you depending on the timing and circumstances of your consideration. Please contact the CEATEC Management Office first.

Can I apply after the priority application deadline (Friday, April 28)?

Yes, you can apply. However, if you apply on or after April 29 (Saturday), you will be required to select your booth location from the booths designated by the CEATEC Management Office on a first-come, first-served basis from among the remaining booths after the booth locations of exhibitors who have applied by the priority application deadline are confirmed.

How much does it cost to exhibit?

The only mandatory fee for exhibiting is the booth fee. Normally, however, exhibition booths do not include electricity and fixtures, so we recommend that you estimate the cost of fixtures and electricity separately.
Please contact the CEATEC Management Office or a related subcontractor for details on exhibition fees and other related costs.

We want to exhibit jointly with several companies.

Joint exhibiting is possible. After applying to exhibit, you can register the names of joint exhibitors (companies/organizations) on the exhibitor list by using the joint exhibitor registration format.
The joint exhibitor registration format will be provided at the "Exhibitor Briefing / Booth Location Selection Meeting" scheduled in early July.
In principle, one company should apply to exhibit on behalf of others, pay the booth fee, and submit the joint exhibitor registration format. If for some reason the billing address is to be divided between two companies, please consult with the CEATEC Management Office.

Exhibit Area

Where is the best area for exhibiting?

Exhibit areas can be selected at the exhibitor's discretion.
A single company can exhibit in multiple areas, but you must submit an application form for each area you wish to exhibit in.

I would like to discuss in advance which exhibit area is best for me.

Please select the area based on the content of your exhibits that you most want to appeal to the public. It is also possible to set up booths in each area separately. Please consult with the CEATEC Management Office when considering this option.
