Request for Cooperation (IMPORTANT) REVISED To carry out the operations at TGS safely and comfortably, we would like to have the cooperation from the exhibitors on the following points. Please read the following text carefully. (1) Management of Exhibitor’s Badge (Important) On the Business Days, there have been cases where exhibitors had given their exhibitors’ badges to visitors. There have also been cases where exhibitors’ badges were misused because exhibitors had lost them. Also, exhibitors’ badges may be sold by a broker or in an auction. In order to prevent these events, the Management Office has decided to print in the exhibitor’s name and a serial number on the badge before delivering it to the exhibitor. With this number, the exhibitor can also specify to whom the badge was distributed. In case a badge was lost or stolen, or in case it was found that someone has given the badge to someone else, please notify the TGS OMO as soon as possible. We would like to ask for your cooperation in preventing any inappropriate actions. (2) Taking Photos on Move-in / Set-up Days (Important) During move-in and set-up days (September 15 (Mon.) – 17 (Wed.), try to avoid taking pictures or record videos of the site and other exhibitors’ booth, other than your own booth. In the past, some people that have obtained the exhibitor’s badge in an improper way were walking around, taking photos of the set-up. If any suspicious persons are found, please report to the TGS OMO or the security guard. (3) Distribution of Numbered Tickets (Important) Ensuring Safety during Busy Hours P. 79 If it is anticipated that the number of visitors flooding into the aisles nearby will exceed a certain number (*1), please request and reserve a place, which will be arranged by the Management Office beforehand, for distributing the numbered tickets. On that day, if the number of visitors exceeds a certain number, or if the Management Office judges that it is dangerous, please guide the visitors to the numbered ticket distribution place, to ensure safety of the visitors. The location of the numbered ticket distribution place will be decided, after the locations of the booths are finalized. Numbered ticket distribution place can be used for free, but the exhibitor is requested to arrange staffs for distributing the tickets (*2). The Management Office will adjust the requests of the exhibitors and will determine the time and location of the numbered ticket distribution place. For details, please refer to P. 79 “Ensuring Safety during Busy Hours” *1 A certain number is when the visitors and/or the waiting line exceeds the visitors’ waiting area, or when the waiting time exceeds 2 hours. Or if CESA or the Management Office judges that it is dangerous or that it obstructs smooth operation. *2 If you need an extra staff for distributing the tickets, we can make that arrangement for 20,000 JPY (excluding tax, per person, 1 time) (4) In case of Setting Up an In-Booth Stage or a Large-sized Screen of over Setting Up an InBooth Stage or a Large-sized Screen of over 100 inch . P. 79 100 inch *NEW All exhibitors carrying out talk show or live performance in their booth and establishing larger than 100 inches large video display need planning the front of such structures to reduce congestion. Please arrange staffs or ropes for ensuring flow line, and execute the operation that the audience does not stay in the passage. If the number of audience exceeds the regulation, please note the stage program might be instructed to be discontinued. 14 Chapter 2 (5) Wireless LAN (Important) Recently, the use of wireless communication system for game devices is increasing, which causes severe crossed-wire problems with other nearby booths. To prevent and reduce these problems, the Management Office has decided to limit the usage amount of wireless LAN access (2.4GHzbands) since 2012. To use wireless LAN access point or mobile router such as pocket Wi-Fi without approval from the Management Office would be prohibited in the Exhibition halls (Hall 1-6). In case the exhibitor needs wireless LAN access for its demonstration or exhibition, please use TGS-net Wi-Fi Connection service (→P.54) provided by the Management Office, or contact TGS OMO in advance. TGS-net Wi-Fi Connection service P. 52 The exhibition halls will be monitored during the show. If using unapproved wireless LAN equipment (or access point) is found, we may ask you to stop using the equipment immediately. Please refer to P.53 for the details. *We strongly ask all visitors as well to communicate game devices and use wireless LAN access such as mobile routers exclusively in the designated area. (6) Appointment System Service “Asia Business Gateway” P. 122 In order to enhance the international business function, Asia Business Gateway will be operated this year. This system allows to make an appointment for a meeting before TGS period between exhibitors and Business-day visitors from overseas and Japan providing chances to connect with new business partners. In this relation, exhibitors are requested to register the person in charge of overseas affairs. For details, please refer to P.122 “Asia Business Gateway”. (7) The TGS Big Draw P. 99 Request for Cooperation to the Digital Signage To enhance the satisfaction level of the visitors, Digital Signage displaying the waiting time and information of give-away items will be set up at the venue. In this relation, we would like to ask each exhibitor reserving more than 40 booths to put together and enter the information to be displayed on the Digital Signage. Please refer to P. 99 for details. The Digital Signage P. 99 (9) Entry restrictions of students on the Business Days P. 22 Request for Cooperation to the TGS Big Draw To enhance the satisfaction level of the visitors, a BIG Draw will be held by collecting some of the give-away items that the exhibitors distribute to the visitors. Every visitor will get a chance to draw the lottery once. The person who wins will receive game serial card, novelty goods, printed materials, etc. In the relation, we would like to ask the exhibitors to turn in the gift to give to the winners(give-away items during the Show). Please refer to P. 99 for details. (8) Media Partner System P. 116 Appointment System Service “Asia Business Gateway” Media Partner System At TGS 2014, Media Partner System has been established among significant game-related media such as magazines, websites and video sites in Asian countries. Reporters of the Media Partner System will be wearing a “Media Partner Badge” for exhibitors to recognize them at once. We would like to have your cooperation if a reporter with a “Media Partner Badge” visits your booth for an interview. If there is any information that the exhibitor would like to provide to the Media Partners, please contact the person in charge at the Press Office of TGS. The details of the Media Partner are on P.116. (10) Game School Corner Exhibitors Entry of students on Business Days (Sep. 18(Thu.) - Sep. 19(Fri.)) will be prohibited. As for schools that have booths at the Game School Corner, only the minimum number of students to operate the booth will be allowed to enter. Students visiting the site just to look around will not be allowed to enter. However, students will be able to enter from the exclusive Student Only Entrance on the Public Days, Sep. 20 (Sat.) - 21 (Sun.). 15 Chapter 2 ■ About the Students Only Entrance for Students with exclusive game school ticket On the Public Days (Sep. 20 (Sat.) - 21 (Sun.), the re-entry entrance in front of Hall 3 on the 2nd floor, central mall of Makuhari Messe, will become the Students Only Entrance.
