The trade show will occupy all the pavilions at the Makuhari Messe convention center, totaling 54,000 m2 organized into four categories: “Professional Audio”, “Professional Video/Lighting”, “Video Production /Transmission” and “ICT/Cross-Media”. According to the organizers, “this is the largest exhibition held so far”.
