Talk to Us About Your EventABOUT THE PLATFORM
One platform for every part of the event experience.
japan ART EX supports both visitor experience and event operations for art fairs, festivals, exhibitions, museums and galleries. Choose the features your event needs—from information and wayfinding to interactive programs and local partnerships—and bring them together in one connected platform.
Navigate
Use interactive maps and live location data to guide visitors between venues and nearby destinations.
Engage
Encourage active participation with stamp rallies, coupons and saved favorites.
Reconnect
Keep audiences connected through news, content and future event updates.
CHALLENGES
Is your event inspiring visitors to explore, engage and return?
Information is fragmented
Important details are spread across websites, social media, printed maps and venue signage, making them difficult to find.
Visitors stay in one place
Without clear venue locations, highlights or routes, visitors may experience only a small part of the event.
Live updates are hard to share
Schedule changes, urgent notices, special offers and same-day news do not always reach visitors in time.
Interactive programs add workload
Paper stamp cards, manual validation, counting and reward management create extra work on site.
International visitors need more support
It can be difficult to provide consistent multilingual guidance on venues, transport, exhibitions and the surrounding area.
Local impact remains limited
Events often lack an effective way to guide visitors toward nearby restaurants, shops, cultural venues and attractions.
