CEATEC JAPAN (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies) is the largest international exhibition in Asia for the technology and electronics sectors, including the fields of imaging, information, and communications.

Every year in October at Makuhari Messe, companies and organizations representing the IT and electronics industries participate in CEATEC JAPAN. They announce cutting-edge technological advancements and demonstrate the latest products, while executives and other key people give lectures and seminars. Experience all the recent trends in IT and electronics, from technologies that showcase futuristic lifestyles to products that will be on store shelves during the upcoming winter season, all at CEATEC JAPAN 2005.

Information, communications and a wide variety of electronics technologies have converged with a high level of sophistication, giving rise to a new era of information technology (IT). To meet the new needs of the times, CEATEC JAPAN was launched in the year 2000 through the merger of two of Japan's leading trade exhibitions. The predecessors were COM JAPAN, which was designed in line with new information and communications needs, and the Japan Electronics Show, the oldest trade exhibition in Japan. CEATEC JAPAN 2000 opened as an integrated exhibition for the IT age, presenting not only the data people needed, but also the information they wanted. The show was highly evaluated by visitors in fields from researchers in IT-related fields and representatives of manufacturing companies to the consumers who use IT products.
