    • The order of selection will be managed in a fair manner after confirming the date and time of submission of the exhibition application form; however, if we receive two submissions at the exact same time, CEATEC Management Office will decide between the two exhibitors by considering exhibitor’s past results (the number of times participated and exhibit scale).
