The 22nd Asia-Pacific Retailers Convention & Exhibition (APRCE Tokyo 2026) will be held in Tokyo in October 2026, organized by the Federation of Asia-Pacific Retailers Associations (FAPRA), which represents 18 countries and regions, and the Japan Retailers Association. The event will be held under the theme "The Future of Retail: Innovation Meets Tradition." This international conference brings together retail industry leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region. Since its inaugural event in Tokyo in 1983, the convention has been held biennially in different countries and regions, evolving into one of the world's premier retail industry gatherings with a history spanning over 40 years.
For the first time in 19 years, the convention returns to Tokyo. APRCE Tokyo 2026 is expected to welcome over 4,000 participants from Japan and abroad, alongside the RETAIL EXPO Tokyo 2026 exhibition. The exhibition is anticipated to attract more than 10,000 visitors, showcasing innovative solutions and cutting-edge technologies addressing common challenges in the retail sector. It will serve as a valuable opportunity for attendees to explore future business models and expand their professional networks.
The Asia-Pacific region accounts for approximately 60% of the world's population and 40% of global GDP, and its significance in the global economy is expected to continue growing. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to directly promote your products and services to key players from across the region and engage in meaningful business discussions. We invite you to exhibit at RETAIL EXPO Tokyo 2026 and take advantage of this exceptional opportunity to expand your business and connect with industry leaders.
