2023 Exhibitor Testimonials

＜Yoshiki Yamada, Manager, Future Business Promotion Office, Business Promotion Division, BITZ Corporation
Since we do not have the opportunity to meet directly with people involved in the childcare industry, we feel that by listening to the real voices of directors and childcare providers, we can reflect them in future service improvements and development, while at the same time promoting our own services.
＜Naomi Watanabe, Marketing Group, Promotion Department, Codomon Co.
I felt that being able to communicate with users face-to-face rather than online was appealing, and I thought that many visitors were eager to listen to the explanation because it was face-to-face. It was a good opportunity for us to reach a new audience.
＜Mr. Kenta Katsurao, Executive Officer, Schengen Corporation
Although they had previously participated as visitors, they exhibited in order to expand their visibility with the launch of their new business. A total of 50 people attended the optional exhibitor presentations. The number of visitors to the booth increased from the 50 who attended the presentation to a double-digit number of appointments in the end.
