SIGIR-AP 2024 is committed to fostering international collaboration and ensuring accessibility for participants from around the world. SIGIR-AP 2024 is a hybrid conference allowing all registrants to choose to attend the event virtually or in-person in Tokyo, Japan. Please note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present the paper at the conference either online or in person. (We do allow one author to cover and present multiple papers - no need to pay multiple registration fees in such a case.) We recommend early registration, especially for overseas participants who need to start visa application process months prior to the conference. We offer visa support for registered participants. If you are applying for a SIGIR student travel grant please do not register just yet. Student travel applicants will receive registration instructions personally at a later date.
