While we learned yesterday of the great return of Paris Games Week in physics at Porte de Versailles, another major video game and pop-culture fair will also make a comeback this year after 2 years of scarcity. This show is that of Japan Expo, which will return to its colors this summer at the Parc des Expositions in Villepinte, its headquarters for nearly 15 years. After two years of absence and successive cancellations due to the COVID pandemic, the annual meeting of all lovers of Japanese culture and geeks will be able to meet again from July 14 to 17, 2022. Dates shifted compared to the previous years since the show has always taken place in the first days of July. This is obviously a risk for the organizers who may be expecting less attendance due to the July holidays. However, with nearly 250,000 people in 2019, Japan Expo is leaving calmly and hopes that the public will respond, especially since the ticket office has already opened its doors for a few months for an edition under the sign of the phoenix, symbol of the rebirth. .
After these difficult months, all this energy transports us. We are ready to take up all the challenges to develop redesigned festivals, adapted to all the new challenges facing us. We will broaden the horizons of what we already offered.
The press release also tells us that Japan Expo will offer “a quality and organized reception with nearly 9 kilometers of barriers to form all queues and a team of more than 150 people”, just to recall and tackle in passing what happened at Paris Manga last month. Note that if you had already reserved your tickets for previous years, they remain valid for the 2022 edition. Good to know.
