• ✓Academic IR researchers and PhD students

Retrieval is the layer under every enterprise RAG system, AI search product and recommendation engine, and this is where research on ranking, conversational and agentic retrieval and evaluation is presented. A VP of engineering or head of search in the region can use it to benchmark their retrieval and evaluation practice against current academic work, meet industry-paper authors and recruit from Asia-Pacific IR groups. The hybrid format means a team can follow sessions remotely before committing travel budget to Singapore.

• ✓Tutorials and workshops (day 1)
• ✓Two-day main conference (days 2–3)
• ✓Paper types: original research, resource, reproducibility, industry and perspective papers
• ✓SIGIR Revise-and-Resubmit (SIGIR-RR) submissions
• ✓Topic area: conversational or agentic IR
• ✓Topic area: datasets, benchmarks and evaluations for IR

• ★ACM SIGIR's Asia-Pacific conference, run annually since 2023 (Beijing 2023, Tokyo 2024, Xi'an 2025).
• ★A SIGIR Revise-and-Resubmit track lets revised SIGIR 2026 and ICTIR papers be reconsidered here.
• ★Hybrid format with support for remote presentations.
• ★Explicit topic area for conversational and agentic IR, alongside industry and reproducibility paper types.
