Institutes that are interested in taking part in 2010, we strongly recommend
to:
- Invite your alumni to assist at your booth
- Publicize programs, services, and opportunities
which Japanese students find appealing such as internship
opportunities, ESL/EAPP information, conditional enrollment,
safe campus and living environment, financial aid
and scholarships, on campus jobs, strong transfer
programs, etc.
- Bring Japanese translated promotional materials,
if available
- Translator service is available upon request. It is US$165 per translator per day. Please confirm by Sept 24 at schan@iiehongkong.org
The Tokyo Fair will be held in the same venue as
the US Embassy's cultural event at a major shopping
complex "Palette Town" in Daiba on Sunday.
About 50,000 people visit Palette Town on Sunday and
we expect the number of visitors to our event will
increase from 2009 because of the joint promotion
efforts with the US Embassy and the attractive location.
Important:
Because of increasing legal concerns regarding privacy
protection, it is becoming more difficult to collect
and release personal information in Japan. However,
in response to requests from U.S. exhibitors, we will
ask Fair visitors for written consent to release their
email addresses to exhibitors. A list will be sent
to exhibitors approximately one month after the Fair.
Participating schools are still strongly advised to
collect personal information from prospective students
directly at their booths.
