SIGGRAPH Asia has been held four times in Japan: Yokohama in 2009, Kobe in 2015, and Tokyo in 2018 and 2021.
TCVB said the record-breaking results of the conference and exhibition in 2018 were outstanding across the board, with 9,735 participants from 59 countries and regions, and support from 118 exhibitors and sponsors.
The success was followed by SIGGRAPH Asia 2021, marking the first hybrid edition in ACM SIGGRAPH’s history. The event proved to be an outstanding success despite pandemic restrictions.
