FAQ for professionals

Q: What kind of photo must I add when requesting an accreditation?

A: You have to send us an ID photo via the booking form. It must fulfill all the following requirements:

• Jpg or png only
• Recent, good quality, showing your face on and on which you're easily recognizable (no mask, no costume, no make-up hiding part of your face, no snapchat-like filters)
• 300 pixel-wide and 400 pixel-high at least
• Portrait (larger in height than in width)
• You're alone on the photo (no group photo or with your pets)
• Color photo (no black and white, no sepia)
• No more than 500 ko

You must be easy to recognize since this photo will be used on your badge to check your identity at every control.

Attention, you cannot send a photocopy of your ID since the photo is often old and of a bad quality when scanned.

Q: What is the difference between a Professional and a B2B Center accreditation?

A: The B2B Center accreditation gives the same rights as the Professional accreditation, such as the possibility of organizing professional meetings during the festival, but it also helps rights management professionals to meet with each other.

B2B accreditations also allow access to the contact information of other people with a B2B accreditation and the booking of a meeting room in the B2B Center.

A person owning a Professional, Press, or Participant badge can also access the B2B Center meeting rooms if they have booked one of those.

Q: I need more accreditations than my allotted quota. How can I get more professional accreditations?

A: If you need more accreditations, you can purchase them by sending an email to marketing[@]sefa-event.com. Professional accreditations and B2B professional accreditations are the only types of paid accreditations. By purchasing B2B professional accreditation, the customer agrees to share his or her professional contact information with other B2B professional credential holders. This condition is intended to create business opportunities between B2B professional accreditation holders.

Q: What is the B2B Center?

A: The B2B Center is a meeting area inside Japan Expo for rights management professionals. It helps them to discover and develop future successful licenses.

It includes nine meeting rooms to organize your meetings in confidence. 

Q: What are the B2B Center opening hours?

A: The B2B Center is open from Thursday to Saturday from 9.30 am to 6.30 pm.
It is closed on Sunday.

Q: Where is the B2B Center?

A: The B2B Center is located near hall 4. To get there, you can go through the Green Room upstairs, near entrance 4, through the press room, or via a staircase near the Kamo stage.

Q: How to book a room in the B2B Center?

A: To book a meeting room at the B2B Center prior to the festival, you have to send your request at: b2bcenter[@]sefa-event.com.

• Your name
