The Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) will hold the camera and photography world premiere show “CP+2025” in a hybrid format of an on-site event at Pacifico Yokohama and an online event. The event will run for four days from Thursday, February 27, 2025 to Sunday, March 2, 2025. Admission is free (pre-registration required).
CP+ has continued to expand every year since the COVID-19 pandemic, with CP+2025 seeing a record 124 exhibiting companies and organizations (as of December 4th, including 28 new exhibitors and 24 from overseas). As one of the world’s largest photo and video events, it has been attracting attention from around the world. Starting this year, the event will be expanded to include not only the Pacifico Yokohama Exhibition Hall, but also the Annex Hall, with even more substantial content.
This year’s theme is “shooting,” “seeing,” and “connecting,” and there will be a lineup of planned events such as new product displays from each company, substantial stage events by photographers and video creators, a variety of photo exhibitions, and photo and video shooting workshops aimed at the SNS generation and young families. In addition to the huge Plarail diorama that is a big hit with families, the “Oshare Majo Love and Berry” corner that is popular with young women, and live streaming that will convey the excitement of the venue, there will also be a call for official CP+ ambassadors to disseminate information on SNS.
In addition, there will be a kids’ admission pass for children that comes with a cute camera-shaped badge holder, and group admission registration for schools. The food truck gourmet plan will also be further enhanced with an Asian cuisine theme.
