Child Edu & Care Japan West 2024 closes with record exhibitor and visitor numbers
Western Japan’s only major nursery and education fair concluded on 18 July with significant rises in exhibitor and visitor attendance (23% and 21% respectively), after two days of business and service exchange at Mydome Osaka. It provided a dedicated platform for 97 companies and organisations, and hosted 1,987 visiting childcare professionals, nursery managers, and industry stakeholders. Celebrating its fourth edition this year, the show introduced new zones focusing on information and communications technology and nutrition education, both of which garnered significant attention from buyers. To address the labour shortages within the childcare industry, the fair’s Recruitment Area facilitated the matching of staffing agencies, nursery management, and job seekers. Overall, Child Edu & Care Japan West 2024 provided a diverse, regionally focused platform to meet the unique needs of Western Japan’s childcare sector.
