Venue focus

A re you thinking that your next event destination should be in Japan ? If so , Aichi Sky Expo is the place to be !

Aichi Sky Expo offers 60,000sqm of exhibition space , 18 conference rooms , and 36,000sqm of outside space that can not only be used for outside events , but also for smooth loading operations for indoor events . The venue is a GL events network venue , one of the leading event industry groups around the world , which ensures international standards of event service and hospitality .
The venue is in Aichi prefecture next door to Chubu Centrair International Airport , where flights from 34 international destinations are available during normal operations . Aichi boasts a GDP of USD $ 372bn , which is an economic scale equivalent to countries such as Denmark or Singapore . This dynamic GDP is supported by a world-class manufacturing industry such as automotive , robotics and aerospace . Aichi has logged $ 437bn in manufactured product shipment value , which has been number one in Japan for 43 consecutive years .
A real asset of Aichi Sky Expo is that it is a bonded exhibition centre , which allows you to import exhibition items without payment of import / export taxes and duties ( for the purpose of re-exportation after the event ). Some exhibition venues in Japan use this system , depending on event type , but at Aichi Sky Expo , this system is always available because of our location next door to Chubu Centrair International Airport .
Since its opening in 2019 , and despite the Covid-19 pandemic , Aichi Sky Expo hosted 220 events , and welcomed 1,100,000 visitors . Aichi Sky Expo is appreciated not only by B2C exhibition organisers but also by conference and corporate event organisers because of the flexible
