*Conference Venue Tsinghua Campus, Xili University Town, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China Launched in March of 2019, Tsinghua SIGS is a research and graduate education institution of Tsinghua University located in southern China. Building upon Tsinghua's academic legacy and Shenzhen's innovative resources, our students and faculty are dedicated to tackling global challenges through cutting-edge research and collaboration. Attractions in Shenzhen Shenzhen, abbreviated as Shen or nicknamed the City of Peng, is a sub-provincial city under Guangdong Province. Situated on the eastern bank of the Pearl River Estuary in southern Guangdong, it borders Hong Kong to the south, covering a total land area of 1,997.47 square kilometers. Founded as China’s first special economic zone in 1980, Shenzhen is a young, vibrant immigrant city with a short urban construction history, serving as a landmark window of China’s reform and opening-up. It has a subtropical monsoon climate, mild all year round with sufficient rainfall. As a core hub of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen is a national innovation, financial, logistics and manufacturing center, home to world-leading tech enterprises and high-quality higher education institutions.

Topics of interest
Before you submit
- Read the full call for papers — page limits, template (IEEE, ACM, LNCS …) and whether review is double-blind.
- Deadlines are usually 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) — convert to Bangladesh time (UTC+6) and aim to submit a day early.
- At least one author normally has to register and present; budget for the fee and, for in-person events, a visa appointment well before the conference.
- Look for student travel grants and volunteer programmes — most large conferences run both, with deadlines soon after notification.
