Setsucon generally does not do interviews with guests due to scheduling difficulties during the weekend. Approved press are welcome to submit interview requests, however Setsucon cannot guarantee approval on any guest interview requests; acceptance of interview requests are at the guest’s discretion. Interview requests to interview staff are available and are flexible throughout the weekend.
