Operating rules (from the official website and documents)
Day-before setup
For days used only for preparation, setup, rehearsal and teardown, the hall is charged 50% of the base usage fee, up to 2 days per event (slot fee only; extension fees, equipment and labor costs are not included). Setup and teardown time is included in the booked usage time (if booked for 9:00-21:00, setup can start from 9:00). When using the hall for 2 or more consecutive days, you must book consecutive slots; if you book only 9:00-17:00 on two days in a row, you must fully clear out at 17:00 on day 1 and start again at 9:00 on day 2. For the training rooms and conference rooms, if you ask the facility for a (paid) layout change, they will set up the room before the start of your usage time (equipment you bring in is not covered).

The hall can be used 24 hours a day, but from 0:00 to 9:00 and from 21:00 to 24:00 overtime labor costs are charged in addition to the venue fee, and before 8:00 and after 23:00 accommodation costs for the staff on duty are charged. Load-in uses a dedicated loading entrance and loading slope; both the slope and the hall floor have a load capacity of 500kg/㎡, and trucks up to 4 tons can climb the slope. The loading gate entrance is 8,500 mm wide and the slope entrance is 3,800 mm high (door dimension drawing created August 2003). Discuss the route and number of vehicles in advance, and always use protective covering during load-in and load-out. The training rooms and conference rooms (East Wing 9F) are available from 7:00 to 23:00, and when there is load-in or load-out, a "Work Notification Form" must be submitted at least 1 week before the work. Packages are unloaded at Loading Area No. 2 and carried to the 9th floor by the load-in elevator.

Hall users can use the organizer-only parking lot; the allotted spaces are 3 for Hall 1000, 3 for Hall 500 and 2 for Hall 300 (1F, height limit 1.9 m). Submit the "Organizer-only Parking Lot Application Form" in advance, take a parking ticket at the entrance and park at the spot marked with green cones; before leaving, pick up a service ticket at the hall office on the 3F of the West Wing and insert it into the payment machine.
