For this online exhibition, participants can enter the main hall, where the virtual exhibition hall inside a digital cruise ship and the webinar auditorium are located, by completing a simple pre-registration and clicking the related homepage. Visitors will receive information about the exhibition and event schedules at the information desk and tour the exhibition hall accordingly.

Within the virtual exhibition hall, buyers and visitors can visit digital booths of 100 companies as if touring an offline exhibition, viewing promotional videos, product images, catalogs, certificates, and various materials.
