Stand sharing will be made available at a premium of twenty per cent on the stand costs.

Please note that the participation fee does not include international or domestic travel, accommodation, subsistence or freight, except where stated.

The participation fees stated above incorporate a 'credit crunch' contingency and are the maximum that participants will be charged. If this additional contingency is not called upon, participants will be invoiced for less than the maximum fee.

Last year, we set a target to reduce our overall exhibition costs by 12 per cent. Tokyo and Kyoto have managed to reduce expenditure by 20 per cent; however, the continuing strength of the Yen means that there has been a significant increase in the participation fees in Pounds Sterling for this event compared to the previous year. The strength of the Yen, however, will have a positive impact on the recruitment of Japanese students to UK institutions, as the UK is now a much more financially suitable option.

Please note that the networking meeting and dinner with Japanese universities, agents and schools will no longer be taking place in 2009. This decision has been made following a decline in participation over the past two years, which has occurred mainly due to relationships having already been built and developed following attendance at previous years' events. The networking meeting has been replaced with a drinks reception for both delegates and British Council staff.
