About Virtual Market Newsroom

What is Virtual Market?

Virtual Market, often referred to in short as Vket, is an online convention and marketplace on the VRchat platform that hosts C2C and B2C retail of digital and physical goods.

Organized by HIKKY, a VR events company based in Tokyo, Vket has been a rapidly growing franchise of VR events since its launch in 2018.

In 2020, Vket4 won the XR Creative Award and VR Awards’ VR Marketing of the Year.

Vket has been awarded by The Guinness World Records™ for 4 times, seen as one of world's largest metaverse events* in and outside Japan.

*The Guinness World Record™ was achieved for having "most booths at a virtual reality market event".
