The active buyer-registration form lists a US$195 fee per delegate. The official site does not publish a current registration cutoff; the 1 September cancellation-refund cutoff is not treated as an application deadline.

Buyers must be able to secure inventory, sell travel, package travel and offer commissionable rates.
Tips for this conference
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Confirm whether you are registering as an attendee, speaker, poster presenter, exhibitor or scholarship/travel-grant applicant because deadlines can differ.
- For abstracts or papers, follow the exact theme, template, word limit, author format and publication rules from the official call.
- If travel is required, check invitation-letter timing, visa processing, accommodation and travel-support deadlines early.
- Review the agenda and speakers in advance and plan the sessions and people most relevant to your goals.
Verification notes
Verified on the current JAPEX buyer-registration, support and event-schedule pages on 2026-09-08 UTC. The registration form remains active and states US$195 per buyer delegate. The official site gives 14–17 September 2026 event dates but no current buyer-registration closing date, so deadline remains null. The separate 1 September cancellation-refund cutoff is not an application deadline.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
