Who exhibits and who attends SIGGRAPH Asia?
Artists and production teams may focus on creative workflow, formats and review needs; developers and engineers may compare integration, performance and deployment requirements. Researchers and educators may be evaluating tools for experiments or teaching, while studio and business leaders may weigh service scope and support. Ask what software and hardware are in the pipeline, which stages are in scope, what workloads matter and what a useful technical follow-up should cover. Record the contact's role, application, requirements and agreed next step.

How to prepare for SIGGRAPH Asia: tips for exhibitors and visitors
Most of the work happens before you reach Kuala Lumpur. Set up Habsy once and every conversation at the show ends with a saved contact, the context you need and a next step.
These SIGGRAPH Asia exhibitor tips cover how to prepare for SIGGRAPH Asia 2026, whether or not you also use the official SIGGRAPH Asia app.
If you are visiting
Before you fly
- 1
Create your Professional digital card
Share your details by QR code, NFC or link instead of paper cards.
- 2

If you are exhibiting
Before you fly, for every rep
- 1
Install Habsy on every rep's phone
Give each rep a digital card, plus one Business digital card for the company.
- 2
Set up intent signals and templates
Every rep qualifies and follows up the same way, by email or WhatsApp.
- 3
Add an enquiry form to your card
Print its QR code on the booth so visitors leave details when you are busy.
- 4
Create a campaign for SIGGRAPH Asia
Bringing several reps? Every scan lands in one live list.
How to set up a lead capture app before SIGGRAPH Asia
Five steps, in the order the app walks you through them. Visitors need steps 1 to 3. Exhibitors should do all five.
Habsy works as your SIGGRAPH Asia lead capture app and SIGGRAPH Asia mobile app in one, and step 1 gives you a SIGGRAPH Asia digital business card.
1. Create your digital business cards
Every Habsy account includes two free digital cards under MyQR: a Professional digital card for you and a Business digital card for your company, with your services and brochures. Habsy's AI builds them from your LinkedIn profile and website, or from a photo of your own business card. Share them by QR code, NFC or link. The person you share with opens your card in their browser, with no app needed, and saves your contact in one tap. Add an enquiry form so visitors who scan your card leave their details and are saved as a new contact.
1Your Professional digital card
2Your Business digital card
3Share by QR code, NFC or link
2. Add intent signals
Intent signals are a built-in lead qualification form: tap-to-answer questions such as product interest, budget and timeline, answered in a few taps for every contact, so every rep records the same details. In Settings, open Manage Intent Signals, then tap Create with AI to get suggestions from your website, or Create Manually to add the set below.
1Open Manage Intent Signals
2Review the signals Habsy suggests
3Tap the answers after each scan

- No follow-up
Add them in Settings, Manage Intent Signals, with Create Manually, or start with Create with AI and adjust the options to match what you sell or what you are looking for.
3. Create a category for SIGGRAPH Asia
Create a category called SIGGRAPH Asia and set it as your default for the days of the event, so every contact you scan at the show is filed under it automatically. After the show, use it as a filter to export only your SIGGRAPH Asia contacts to Excel, CSV or VCF in one step. Exhibitors on Habsy Platform can also use the SIGGRAPH Asia category to track how the event performed: contacts captured, companies reached, intent signals and each rep's results.
1Create the category
2Pick it when you save a contact
3Find it on every contact
4. Set up your email and WhatsApp templates
Connect your email account or WhatsApp Business account in Settings before the show. Then, with Send email or WhatsApp template turned on in your Card Preferences, your follow-up goes out from your own account the moment you save a scanned contact. The visitor often has your message, and your digital card, before they leave your booth. It shows you are organized and quick to respond, and it puts you ahead of every exhibitor who follows up next week. To write the template, open Email Templates or WhatsApp Templates in Settings, describe the message, and Habsy's AI writes it. Add variables such as the contact's name and company so every message is personal. Here is a template you can copy for SIGGRAPH Asia:
Hi {{recipient.name}},
It was good speaking with you at SIGGRAPH Asia 2026. I would be glad to send a concise overview of our computer graphics and production tools for your team to review.
Which part of your workflow should I focus on, such as content creation, post-production or pipeline integration?
Best,{{user.name}}{{user.company}}
Hi {{recipient.name}}, this is {{user.name}} from {{user.company}}. It was good speaking with you at SIGGRAPH Asia 2026. Which part of your graphics or production workflow would be most useful for me to cover in a short follow-up?
Words in braces are variables. Habsy fills them in from each contact and from your profile when you send.

5. Set your Card Preferences
Choose what Habsy does each time you save a contact, once in Settings or per save. It runs in the background while you move on to the next conversation.

How to scan SIGGRAPH Asia badges and business cards with your phone
Use one lead capture app on your phone for every contact you make at SIGGRAPH Asia, wherever you make it: at the booth, in a session, at a reception or over dinner. Every rep and every visitor captures contacts on their own phone, free and with no scan limit, and every contact lands in one list with your category, intent signals and notes.
The same app is your SIGGRAPH Asia badge scanner, SIGGRAPH Asia lead scanner and SIGGRAPH Asia business card scanner, so SIGGRAPH Asia badge scanning and card scanning end up in one list.
1Scan a business card
2Scan a badge QR code
3Type it in with manual entry
- Badges: point the Habsy scanner at a badge and Habsy reads the attendee's details from its QR code. If a badge holds only a registration number, scan the person's business card or type them in.
- Business cards: scan each card in seconds, or switch to Batch and scan up to 150 cards in about 5 minutes without leaving the camera. Habsy reads cards in 200+ languages.
- QR codes: scan digital business cards from any provider, LinkedIn QR codes and contact QR codes.
- NFC: turn on NFC on the scan screen, then hold an NFC business card or an NFC event badge to the back of your phone. Habsy reads the contact and saves it, with no camera needed.
- Manual entry: no card and no QR code? Choose Manual and type the details in.
- Offline: capture continues when the hall Wi-Fi is busy, and contacts process once you reconnect.
Many shows also sell official lead retrieval through the organizer. Habsy works on its own or next to it. For more, read lead capture vs lead retrieval.
Whichever you choose, compare SIGGRAPH Asia lead retrieval with scanning on your own phones before you book.
How to qualify SIGGRAPH Asia leads while you talk
A contact without context is hard to follow up. Before the next conversation starts, add what you discussed and what you promised.
- Intent signals: tap the answers on the review screen after each scan.
- Voice notes: tap Add Voice Note and say what they need. Habsy turns it into a searchable transcript.
- Text notes: type a quick note, such as "Asked about render workflow and file formats.".
- Reminders: in 1 hour, in 4 hours, tomorrow at 9 AM or any date and time, with a repeat and an alarm. All of them appear in My reminders.
Here is what a contact from SIGGRAPH Asia looks like with context added:

SIGGRAPH Asia lead capture for exhibitor teams
When several reps work the booth, the hard part is not capturing leads. It is knowing, during the show and after it, who met whom, who is hot and who follows up. Habsy Platform is the web dashboard for that, at app.habsy.ai. Reps keep scanning in the app, and the manager sees everything in one place.
app.habsy.ai
- One campaign for SIGGRAPH Asia: every rep's contacts land in one live list, by rep and by day.
- Clear ownership: assign contacts, set reminders, and get alerts when two reps meet the same person.
- Follow-up from one place: sync to your CRM and run email and WhatsApp follow-up for the whole team.
The SIGGRAPH Asia post-event report
When the show ends, Habsy turns your SIGGRAPH Asia contacts into a post-event report: what your team captured, who you met, what they told you through your intent signals, and a dossier on every company with how well it fits your business. Use it to decide who to call first and whether the next edition is worth the booth. Here is what it could look like for SIGGRAPH Asia, with example data:
Post-event report · SIGGRAPH Asia
Overview: what your team captured at SIGGRAPH Asia, how complete it is, and what stands out.
Analytics: the kinds of organizations and the seniority of the people your team met at SIGGRAPH Asia.
Intent signals: what contacts at SIGGRAPH Asia are interested in, when they plan to buy and the next step your reps agreed.
Habsy Platform has one team price, with no per-event or per-lead fees. See Habsy for teams or explore the platform.
Bottom line
Plan Hall 7 conversations around each contact's production workflow, then record the application and a specific technical follow-up. Visitors: create your digital card and scan every card and badge you collect. Exhibitors: set up intent signals and templates before you fly, capture every contact in one app, and follow up within 48 hours. See event lead capture with Habsy.
