FAQ

The event will take place over three days, from Tuesday, December 15, to Thursday, December 17, 2026. The main venues will be the Chunichi Building, Nadia Park, and Urban Net Nagoya Nexta Conference in the Sakae area of Nagoya.

Tickets

What are the differences between the ticket types and prices?

There are three paid ticket types and one free ticket type. These are the Executive Pass (¥100,000 / for VIPs and networking), the Business Meeting Pass (¥25,000 / for business meetings and matchmaking), and the Visitor Pass (¥10,000 / for general attendance and gathering information). All prices include tax. In addition, there is a free SideEvent Pass that allows you to attend side events only.

Which pass grants access to which areas?

The Executive Pass grants access to all venues and sessions, as well as the Executive Leader’s Party and lounges. The Business Meeting Pass grants access to all venues and sessions, as well as speed business meetings and other events. The Visitor Pass grants access to all venues and sessions. The free SideEvent Pass grants access only to eligible side events. You will need to check in using a QR code when entering each stage.

Are there any ticket types for students?

We do not offer a ticket category exclusively for students. Students should purchase a Visitor Pass.

I accidentally purchased the wrong ticket. Can I cancel it?

As a general rule, we do not accept cancellations after purchase. However, if you have specific circumstances such as purchasing the wrong ticket type or wishing to apply a discount or free code please contact us at contact@techgala.jp to discuss your situation. Please note that free SideEvent passes can be cancelled directly from your My Page.

Can I attend all three days with a single ticket?

Yes. Paid passes are valid for all three days of the event. You do not need to purchase a separate ticket for each day (free SideEvent passes are valid only for the specific side events listed).

Can I transfer a ticket I’ve already purchased to another colleague within the company?

Since tickets are linked to your account, we generally recommend that you use them yourself.

Can I purchase multiple tickets (e.g., for three people within the company) as a single order?

Because the system limits one ticket per account, each employee must register for an account and purchase their own ticket.

Are payment methods other than credit cards (such as bank transfer or cash) accepted?

As a general rule, we only accept credit card payments.

If you are unable to apply a coupon code or invitation code, please check the following:
