Travel to China may be easier than you think!
China has significantly expanded its visa-free travel policies in recent years. Depending on your nationality and itinerary, you may be eligible for visa-free entry or visa-free transit, making it much easier to join us in Shenzhen.
If you are a researcher or a PhD student working in biometrics, computer vision, pattern recognition, multimodal AI, generative AI, or related areas, we warmly invite you to join us in Shenzhen!
Please feel free to share this with students, colleagues, and anyone who may be interested. We look forward to welcoming you to Shenzhen in January 2027!
