Inter BEE, the official comprehensive media event for the video and audio industry in a wide range of fields from broadcasting to communications, has begun accepting applications for exhibitors again this year. Businesses considering to exhibit will need to apply as early as possible to secure a good location.
Inter BEE is supported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), as well as the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK), the Japan Commercial Broadcasters Association (JBA), the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses, the Association for Promotion of Advanced Broadcasting Services(A-PAB), and the Digital Content Association of Japan(DCAJ). In addition, all industry groups involved in video, audio, and broadcasting and communications have been named as cooperating organizations. Now in its 56th year as an official exhibition, the event is expected to be even more successful than in previous years.

Inter BEE, which was developed based on broadcasting technology, no longer deals only with broadcasting. Over the past three years, the event has evolved into a comprehensive media event that encompasses "creation" (production), "transmission" (transmission), and "reception" (experience) with "content" at its core. This year, with the start of the 2020s, the event will actively cover a wide range of media-related industries, including network-related fields such as 5G, ICT and cloud, as well as the booming live entertainment and facility-related fields such as large-scale video, audio and lighting.

At Inter BEE 2020, we will support the creation of new content by creating a venue for the transmission of information and exchange for a new generation of creators who will become the core of Japanese content creators in the future, using the Internet as the stage. This year's Digital Content Expo will also be held at the same time. The latest content technologies will also be on display to encourage the next generation of creators to come and stimulate Inter BEE as a whole. As we enter the 2020s, Inter BEE will continue to be upgraded.

Inter BEE, the official exhibition for audio and visual industries, was held in Makuhari Messe Exhibition hall 1 through 8. Last year there were 1,158 exhibitors and 40,375 visitors over three days, and 2020 will also be a meaningful opportunity for exhibitors and visitors to interact and create business. If more companies exhibit, it will lead to the further development of the video and audio industry. Interested businesses are encouraged to request materials for consideration.
