## Infrastructure Maintenance National Conference Kinki Forum 2026 Reports 5,207 Attendees on Day 1
The Infrastructure Maintenance National Conference Kinki Forum 2026 is an event aimed at solving issues related to the maintenance and management of social infrastructure, matching the latest technologies with field requirements. It is being held over two days, May 21st (Thu) and 22nd (Fri), 2026, at the Hanamizuki Hall and Exhibition Hall in Tsurumi Ryokuchi, Expo Park.
According to the executive committee's count, the total number of visitors on the first day, May 21st, was 5,207 (96.7% of the previous year). While the total number was slightly lower than the previous year due to rain, a wide range of visitors, including the general public and students, were observed.
### Expansion of Visitor Demographics
The composition of visitors showed a new expansion unlike the past. Inside the venue, in addition to professional engineers and administrative officials, families with children and the younger generation were seen, indicating that interest in infrastructure maintenance is spreading to a wider demographic.
The executive committee believes that the implementation of related programs, in addition to information dissemination through online channels such as social media, served as a trigger for attendance. In particular, the "Infrastructure DX and Robot Co-creation Forum" saw the participation of approximately 150 students from laboratories such as intelligent robotics, leading to an expansion of contact points with the younger generation, including students.
### First-Day Attendance (Preliminary Figures)
