CP+ Imaging Show Returns to Yokohama for 2027 Edition
The annual CP+ Camera and Photo Imaging Show, a premier event in the photography and videography world, is scheduled to once again captivate enthusiasts and professionals alike in Yokohama, Japan, from February 25 to February 28, 2027. Organized by the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA), this no-cost exhibition has cemented its position as a leading global platform for imaging innovation, drawing an increasingly broad and diverse audience. The 2026 iteration of CP+ achieved unprecedented success, welcoming 149 participating companies and organizations and recording an impressive 58,329 in-person attendees, signifying its growing influence since the discontinuation of Photokina in 2020.
A notable trend from the previous year's event was the significant increase in participation from younger demographics and women, with nearly 40% of visitors under the age of 40 and female attendees making up a record 22.4%. This shift highlights the show's evolution from a specialized industry gathering to a comprehensive festival that embraces a wide spectrum of photography and videography lovers, moving beyond its traditional core of professional and avid camera users. The organizers are committed to curating a program for CP+ 2027 that not only reflects the latest industry advancements but also appeals to this expanding and varied audience, ensuring a dynamic and engaging experience for all.
CP+ 2027 promises a rich array of activities designed to cater to every level of interest, from practical workshops for video creators and expert-led main-stage presentations by renowned photographers to interactive exhibits for families and casual enthusiasts. For businesses in the imaging sector, the event offers an unparalleled opportunity to enhance global brand visibility, directly engage with consumers, and gather valuable feedback. Exhibitors can take advantage of early registration incentives, including substantial discounts on booth space, with applications for participation currently being accepted. This strategic approach aims to foster new market segments and facilitate direct marketing initiatives, further solidifying CP+'s role as a vital hub for connection and growth within the global imaging community. Attendees are encouraged to pre-register starting in early December 2026 to secure their free admission.
The CP+ Camera and Photo Imaging Show embodies a vibrant and forward-looking spirit, continuously adapting to the evolving landscape of imaging technology and creative expression.
