UX Conferences and Events in Asia

CHI 2025, the premier annual academic conference on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), is coming to Asia from April 26 - May 1, 2025, at the Pacifico Yokohama in Japan. This conference centers around the theme of "Ikigai 生き甲斐," a Japanese concept that embodies one's reason for being or sense of purpose. In today's world, individuals are navigating a myriad of challenges including climate change, increasing inequality, technological disruptions, global conflicts, and health crises. Ikigai addresses the importance of finding one's purpose and achieving a harmonious balance between personal agency, passion, capabilities, and the impact they can make.
