The Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) will hold “CP+2027” for four days from February 25th (Thursday) to 28th (Sunday), 2027. This event has become the world’s largest world premiere show for cameras and photographic and imaging equipment. The venue is scenic Pacifico Yokohama (Yokohama City) and online (CP+ official website). Prior to the event, an “Exhibitor Information Session” will be held online (ZOOM) from 2 PM to 3 PM on July 16th (Thursday), 2026.
Increasing participation from young people, women, and overseas companies! A broader range of participants, the evolving “CP+”
CP+, originating from Japan, the center of the camera and imaging equipment industry, showcases the latest products and technologies to the world. Numerous companies and organizations from both Japan and abroad exhibit, attracting a wide range of people, from professionals and avid fans to families who enjoy photography and videography.
CP+2026 saw a record-breaking 149 exhibitors and attracted 58,329 visitors (104.5% of the previous year’s attendance).
Looking at the demographics of the attendees, the proportion of younger people increased, with those under 39 years old accounting for approximately 40% of the total. Furthermore, the percentage of women reached a record high of 22.4%.
In terms of public relations, CP+ strengthened its information dissemination both domestically and internationally by welcoming major overseas media outlets as global partners. The number of new exhibitors reached a record high of 45, and the number of overseas exhibitors reached a record high of 38, accelerating the internationalization of the event. Along with this expansion of the participant base, CP+ is steadily evolving into a place that generates richer encounters and interactions.
99% exhibitor satisfaction! Half of visitors move towards making a purchase – CP+ is a golden business opportunity.
Driven by the rapid proliferation of social media and video streaming platforms, the photography and video-related market is experiencing a resurgence, incorporating new needs. CP+, a major market event, is highly regarded not only as an opportunity to widely promote new products and other company offerings, but also as a platform to directly reach target audiences through booth displays and stage programs, and to directly experience user reactions.

In a survey of previous attendees, approximately half responded that their purchase considerations had become more concrete. Furthermore, exhibitor satisfaction reached 99% (total of “very satisfied” and “somewhat satisfied” responses).
In recent years, the number of exhibitors from video equipment and video-related service companies has increased, and the scope of CP+ is expanding more and more.
Recommended for first-time exhibitors! We support your exhibition with our “Budget Plan” and “Early Bird Plan”.
CP+2027 will continue to offer the same attractive exhibition plans that were so popular last time. These include the “Budget Plan” (available to all exhibitors) which allows for affordable exhibition in a compact booth, and the “Early Bird Plan” (available to new exhibitors) to encourage first-time exhibitors. In addition to manufacturers of cameras and related accessories, companies from a wide range of industries and business types developing new video-related businesses are also invited to attend the information sessions.
