One Trip, Three Markets: The Shanghai-Seoul-Tokyo Circuit

Access three of Asia's most crucial music markets in one trip. The 2026 edition links IMX Shanghai and IMX Tokyo around the Seoul Music Forum partner stopover, with IMX Seoul set for 2027.

The "One Trip, Three Markets" circuit runs from October 29 to November 5, 2026, linking IMX Shanghai, the Seoul Music Forum as our Seoul partner stopover, and IMX Tokyo — with IMX Seoul itself set for 2027.

The Ultimate B2B Efficiency

For international attendees flying in from Europe, the Americas, or other parts of the world, this unified itinerary represents a game-changing efficiency. Access three distinct, powerhouse markets—China, South Korea, and Japan—in a single, seamless trip.

Seamless Border Transitions

By aligning our stopovers sequentially, we dramatically reduce travel expenditure and logistical friction for international delegations. Participate in Shanghai's massive synchronization market, transit immediately to Seoul's K-Pop and tech-driven ecosystem, and conclude in Tokyo's deep physical and digital rights landscape.

This is the definitive pathway for building long-term value, securely licensing assets, and optimizing your Asian expansion strategy.
