Responsible roles / intended readers: Visitors interested in souvenirs and K-goods, and company or distribution professionals seeking event souvenirs and brand collaborations Record / next task: A visit plan with the date, registration QR, products and companies of interest, and separate meeting checks Basis of information: Directly compared the official overview, visitor guide and award-product introductions with the 2 October exhibitor-selection notice, closed exhibiting application and FAQ. Current undated guidance is labelled with the 3 November check date; secretariat office hours were not presented as fair hours. Also checked the first page of the linked live registration form; used its QR dispatch wording, one day before the visit rather than before the event.
