Professional accreditations

The campaign for accreditation requests for Japan Expo 2025 are closed! 

Accreditation is a pass for professionals. It entitles the holder to a badge to access to the festival via dedicated entrances.

It is intended for professionals to attend meetings, take part in the festival's programming or write articles or reports. Each request is subject to validation by Japan Expo.

The badge must be shown to control officers in order to access to the festival.

Each type of badge gives access to different work areas.

Accessible areas are indicated on each badge (by a colored banner and pictogram and the list of areas).

The periods at which the badge holder can access the festival and its areas are shown on the back of the badge.

This year, the Professional Reception in Hall 7 opens at 8:30 am.
Before collecting your badge, you must first pass through a Vigipirate checkpoint in Hall 8 on arrival.

Once you have your badge, there's no need to go through halls 7 and 8.
Access the festival directly via the Welcome Gallery.

Professionals can access festival areas from 9 am instead of 9:30 am.
