The continued success of AFCEA 東京 TOKYO relies primarily on support from industry and we sincerely appreciate your participation. This year, Monday April 27 has been reserved for our STEM Education Day, so if your company is interested in providing free training to attendees then please reach out to us ASAP.
Exhibitors will be allowed to start teardown of their booths and tables on Wednesday April 29 after 17:00, and only after the room has been entirely cleared of attendees.
This is non-negotiable.
AFCEA 東京 TOKYO’s preferred vendor is AEC, and we have arranged with them to receive shipments and deliver to the hotel the evening of May 4, 2020. AEC points-of-contact are as follows:
American Engineering Corporation
Tokyo Branch Office
Chuo Sogyo 3F, 3-20-1 Sagamiono,
Minami-ku, Sagamihara-shi,
Kanagawa-ken, Japan
252-0303
Note that plenty of tables & chairs are available at the New Sanno, and all areas are fully carpeted. Suggest you do not bring your own.
Booths are no more than 10 feet wide by 7 feet deep (10’ x 7’): please plan accordingly. Tables are 6 feet wide, 2.5 feet deep: please plan accordingly.
Recommend not using floodlights; ballroom is well lit and carpeted. Electrical outlets: Each booth and table will have 100v / 50Hz power-strips with 3 outlets. Assume less than 5 amps per booth or table. Note: Please notify us via return email IMMEDIATELY if you need more than 5 amps. Tokyo electric power is 100v / 50Hz! NOT 120v / 60Hz. This is typically not a problem with most gear but be forewarned.
Internet access in the ballroom is available but the specifics are currently being determined. The New Sanno recently underwent an upgrade to their internet capabilities and are working with their Internet Service Provider to determine conference support. A separate document will be shared once this information becomes available. Based on previous conferences, internet access was limited to 100 DHCP address and the hotel charged $25/day per IP. If you require internet access please notify us in advance with how many connections you will need.
54Mbps WLAN is available for a charge in the ballroom, but for free in the lobby. The New Sanno can provide a wired LAN drop to your booth, but please see the note above for pricing/availability. It may be best to bring your own Router and NAT through one hotel IP.
A Passport or Japanese immigration card (Zairyu card) with photo is required for all Non-DoD or Non-Japanese personnel. As a US Government facility, security is operative and outside AFCEA’s control. Anyone entering must either be: 1) Registered in advance and then present a government photo ID (e.g., passport for overseas visitors or Japanese, or Japanese drivers license) -or- 2) Physically escorted by someone with a government ID (e.g., US active or retired military ID, or US contractor ID) and present a government photo ID (e.g., passport for overseas visitors). Pre-registration will help you avoid delays. If you are not pre-registered, Security will have to contact someone on AFCEA’s staff and that will take time.
There is no parking other than vehicles registered with US Forces, Japan. Even that, parking is first come, first served, and is very limited. Public transportation is reliable and strongly recommended.
Some companies have booth personnel that will not join dinner or lunch. Everyone that enters The New Sanno must be registered, including booth personnel. Please indicate “Booth Support Staff” when you register. Meals are available for purchase at the Emporium Restaurant or Heroes Snack Bar in The New Sanno for booth personnel if desired.
AFCEA Tokyo (東京) TechNet 2017 participants who are not DoD affiliated may be sponsored by AFCEA Tokyo (東京) to lodge at The New Sanno Hotel.
