CP+ 2027 runs Thursday, February 25, through Sunday, February 28, at Pacifico Yokohama, organized by CIPA. The venue show is free with web pre-registration; a parallel online event covers the same dates. Until noon on February 25, the halls are reserved for press and VIP invitees. If you are a general pre-registered visitor, build Thursday around an afternoon start.
Who should cross for this
Camera and imaging buyers, retailers, creators, press, optical engineers, and Pacific travelers comparing Japanese imaging hardware.
CP+ is the clearest annual Japan meeting for camera and imaging products—useful for North American retailers and creators who need Yokohama floor access.
Suggested trip length: 3–4 nights based in Minato Mirai; arrive Wednesday if you need Thursday afternoon public floor time
Finish web registration before you fly
CIPA’s outline locks venue admission to free web pre-registration. Complete that flow early, then carry a phone-ready QR for badge exchange. Online participation does not replace walking the Pacifico floor.
Thursday morning is not your morning
Official outline language is clear: February 25 until 12:00 is press and VIP only. Friday through Sunday follow standard public hours, with Sunday closing at 17:00. A Wednesday night Minato Mirai check-in still works if Thursday is afternoon-only.
Treat Yokohama as the show city
Pacifico sits in Minato Mirai, not beside Tokyo Station. Hotels within a ten-minute walk beat any clever Tokyo transfer once rain and badge lines stack up. Recheck cpplus.jp closer to February for exhibitor maps and seminar booking.
