Exhibitor registration is now open for the much-anticipated 2022 event, to be held from 27 – 28 September at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center, Hamamatsucho Building. A combination of product showcases and specialist seminars covering the latest trends in additive manufacturing (AM) will once again cater to a wide spectrum of trade visitors. The event has gradually expanded in scale since its launch in 2019, becoming well-known as a forum for business exchange and networking opportunities, where the next generation of intelligent industrial production comes together.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 edition was held as an entirely online seminar event, welcoming speakers from 11 companies and organisations, as well as 1,061 online participants over the two days. In 2020, the forum hosted 29 exhibitors and 710 visitors in Tokyo, with many exhibitors commending the event for bringing the industry closer together during a difficult time. Messe Frankfurt Japan, the organiser of Formnext Forum Tokyo, is confident of the success of the upcoming hybrid edition, based on the experience of last year's all-digital event and the physical event in 2020. With the business community facing its greatest challenge in recent years, Formnext Forum Tokyo 2022 will create timely opportunities for industry players to explore new markets.
The forum will see experts converge from a wide range of industry sectors, including:
Solutions for additive manufacturing
Materials
Manufacturing preparation / Pre-processing
Component processing / Surface processing solution / Post processing
Contract manufacturing / Design / Product development
Tool and die making
Software
