Notes

にて is essentially a formal written で — invitations, business correspondence, notices, and signage. It does not occur in ordinary spoken Japanese, not even at the polite です/ます level.

Similar

  • Both skew formal and written, but において also surfaces in spoken ceremonial register (におきましては, in speeches and formal addresses), while にて never occurs in speech at all — にて is a direct one-for-one substitute for で, naming a concrete venue, date, or means (本社ほんしゃ会議室かいぎしつにて "at the head-office conference room"), while において marks a broad, abstract DOMAIN or context something occurs within (現代げんだい社会しゃかいにおいて "in modern society") and rarely names one literal venue.
