3-7. Allocation of booths
Booth locations will be determined by lot drawing. Lots will be drawn among exhibitors who have the same number of booths or share the same configuration in the same categories. However, depending on actual conditions at the booth allocation, lots may be drawn among exhibitors who have approximately the same number of booth spaces (±10 spaces) in the same stage (i.e. exhibitors with 25 to 35 booth spaces). In addition, exhibitors in the Professional Lighting category may illuminate towards the ceiling; however, considering the influence on surrounding exhibitors, please note that such exhibitors’ booth will be located at the far end of show space.
▶▶ The drawing of lots is scheduled for early August
The booth allocation lottery will be held online.
Primary Booth Allocation Lottery
Exhibitors who apply by Wednesday, May 31 will be eligible to participate in the primary lot drawing. If an exhibitor changes the number of booths applied for after July, the order of lot drawing may be adjusted by the Organizing Committee.
Secondary Selection
Exhibitors who apply between Thursday, June 1 and Friday, June 30 will be selected from available booth spaces in the order of earliest application.
1. Spare booth spaces
If booth spaces remain available at the end of the lot drawing dates, the remaining spaces will be placed on the floor as spare booths.
Exhibitors submitting applications after Saturday, July 1st, can select their booth locations from the available spare booths on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. Fixed booth spaces
The Organizing Committee has determined the following booth spaces to be fixed:
(a) Because lots are drawn among exhibitors with the same number and type of booths in the same exhibit zones, an exhibitor not meeting
this criterion will be afforded a fixed booth space(s).
(b) Cooperative exhibitors
(c) Overseas cooperative exhibitors and related domestic exhibitors.
3. Utility booths will be setup in spare open spaces after the booth lot drawing is completed. However, exhibitors should be aware that further changes in booth allocation may occur due to exhibitor cancellations, reduction in booth spaces, etc.
4. The position of entry ways and the use of block booths by exhibitors may be adjusted by the Organizing Committee in consideration of overall visitor flow.
5. Overhead lighting
Full overhead lighting delivers approximately 500 lux, but exhibitors in the Video Production and Broadcast Equipment category may choose to locate their booths in areas where all overhead lighting
is decreased (approximately 50 lux). Please note that this option may not be available, depending on the ratio of visitors requesting overhead lighting.
