Virtual Market 2022 Winter, the World’s Largest VR Event, Set to Take Place December 3 - 18, 2022. Corporate Exhibitor Applications Now Open

TOKYO, Japan, June, 2022 - - HIKKY Co., Ltd. announces Virtual Market 2022 Winter (Vket 2022 Winter) to take place this winter from December 3 to 18, 2022. This will be the ninth edition of Virtual Market, an online convention and marketplace on the VRChat platform launched by HIKKY in 2018. Applications for brands and corporate exhibits are now being accepted on HIKKY’s website.

From the Internet to the metaverse. From a 2D screen to 3D space. Virtual Market (Vket) continues to redefine the new age brought about by the metaverse. In the world of Vket, we are all free to travel instantaneously to various scenes. Let Vket take you onto the “Next Journey.”

For the third installment of the “Parareal World Project,” “Paris,” the French capital and first city joining in from Europe, “Sapporo,” a Japanese city well-known for its Snow Festivals, and “Nagoya,” the principal city of Japan’s central region, will constitute the corporate exhibition venues.
Bringing together three real-world metropolises from distant parts of the globe, this venue will be an embodiment of a world unrestricted by time and space.
This edition will also incorporate many elements of travel, as per the theme “Next Journey.”

A term coined by combining “parallel universe” and “real,” meant to convey an existence paralleling the real world with the metaverse.

Virtual Market, referred to in short as Vket, is an online convention and marketplace on the VRChat platform that hosts C-to-C and B-to-C retail of digital and physical goods.
Visitors can catch a train ride for a scenic tour of the sprawling landscape, watch a movie at the cinema, or dance with friends at a live music event, all within Virtual Market. Friends can interact with one another in real time conversation, shop together, make new friends, or run into and strike up conversations with celebrities.
The event's virtual venues on VRChat are globally accessible with or without VR devices, on a computer or smartphone browser, 24-7 during the 16-day run. Navigation will be shown in English and Japanese.
Organized by HIKKY, a VR events company based in Tokyo, Virtual Market has taken place bi-annually since its launch in 2018 and has rapidly grown into the largest of its kind. Hosting over one million visits in its recent editions, the Guinness World Records recognizes Vket for having the largest number of booths at a VR marketing event.
