The CP + Secretariat has started accepting applications for CP + 2021 to be held from February 25th (Thursday) to 28th (Sunday), 2021 on October 28th. In addition to the conventional Pacifico Yokohama, it will be held online in a new form. Admission will continue to be free with pre-registration on the Web.

As one of the measures against infectious diseases, a new topic is to enforce admission restrictions to avoid crowding of visitors. Divide the day into two time zones (A: 10:00 to 14:00, B: 14:00 to 18:00, B until 17:00 on the last day), and accept advance reservations for each admission time. That is. The replacement system will not be implemented.

In addition, we recommend that exhibitors be replaced within 15 minutes each time, and that there is no waiting line for touch and try. For details, PDF is available on the CP + 2021 website.
