The official site introduces it as a real-world event at Bellesalle Akihabara. The PR TIMES announcement states that the event will use both the first and second floors of Bellesalle Akihabara and that companies, organizations, and general circles are being recruited as exhibitors.
The official site includes a ticket information area. Admission fees and entry details should be checked through future official announcements.
Alongside the venue event, a town-wide walking program called "Machi-goto JOIN Sakusen!" (Join the Whole Town!) will involve the surrounding Akihabara neighborhood. About twice as many shops and programs as the previous edition — 29 in total — are taking part, spanning restaurants, karaoke, body care, live houses, and shisha bars, each offering limited collaboration menus and original novelties.
- Collaboration periods vary by shop, mostly running from July 24 (the day before the event) through July 27 (the day after it ends)
- A "Vket x HUB collaboration cafe" will run at three locations — HUB Akihabara, HUB Chomchom Akihabara, and 82AKIBA TOLIM — serving limited collaboration drinks
- A stamp-rally-style program for visiting participating shops is also planned
