SIGGRAPH Asia returns to the vibrant city of Hong Kong for 2025

SIGGRAPH Asia is excited to announce that Hong Kong will be the host city for its 2025 conference and exhibition. This prestigious event will bring together the world’s most respected technical and creative minds, showcasing Hong Kong’s vibrant technology industry and enhancing its status as a global business hub.

Taku Komura, SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 Conference Chair and Professor at The University of Hong Kong, stated, “We are thrilled to bring SIGGRAPH Asia back to Hong Kong. The city’s dynamic and innovative environment, combined with its strategic location and strong support from both the government and industry, makes it the perfect venue for our 2025 conference. We look forward to building on the success of our previous events here and showcasing the latest advancements in computer graphics and interactive techniques.”

Tomasz Bednarz, SIGGRAPH Asia Conference Advisory Group (SACAG) Chair, added, “The SACAG is thrilled that SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 will be hosted in Hong Kong. We believe that our conference will allow connecting and enabling more researchers, artists, designers, and practitioners from the region to join our international SIGGRAPH community. This year’s SIGGRAPH Asia conference in Tokyo is set to be a remarkable success, and we are greatly looking forward to the dynamic exchange of ideas and innovations it will bring. Mark your calendars already and see you at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 and 2025!”

Hong Kong previously hosted SIGGRAPH Asia in 2011 and 2013, both of which were successful, attracting top talents worldwide and providing a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their latest findings and innovations.

The support for SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 from the Hong Kong Tourism Board, alongside local industry and institutions, underscores the city’s commitment to fostering excellence in the field of computer graphics and interactive techniques. Additionally, Hong Kong’s vibrant ecosystem is home to numerous start-ups and established companies specializing in various aspects of these technologies, which will contribute to the event’s dynamic presence and foster opportunities for collaboration and growth.

“Winning SIGGRAPH for Hong Kong is a rewarding result of HKTB’s effort in rallying the academia and is a strong testament to the city’s professional standing. The return of this global flagship event on computer graphics and interactive techniques will underline Hong Kong’s position as an innovation and technology hub and its vibrant art scene as a cradle for digital art to thrive. With 8,000 delegates, over half of them coming from Mainland and overseas for a five-day programme, the event is yet another testament to Hong Kong’s capacity in hosting mega events and will generate huge economic value.” shared Kenneth Wong, General Manager, MICE and Cruise, Hong Kong Tourism Board.
