Cadence and next edition: the exhibition runs biennially in even years. The 6th edition took place 27–29 March 2024 at BEXCO Hall 3B together with the 12th Metal+Metallurgy & Thermo Process 2024. The official site's Japanese page states: "Every other year (as many as every 2 year / even year) — Holding next term exhibition: Mar 2028". The exact 2028 dates (days) are not yet published, and no 2027/2028 dates appear elsewhere on the official site, so this record keeps the last confirmed edition (18–20 March 2026) until the organiser announces them.
