The International Symposium on Multimedia and Communication Technology (ISMAC) is a gathering of thought leaders, industry experts, and enthusiasts in the field of Multimedia and Communication Technology. ISMAC first started as a workshop in 2005 organized by the faculty of Engineering in Chulalongkorn University and the Graduate School of Information and Science Technology, Hokkaido University entitled, “Workshop on Information Technology and Communication” (CHITC 2005).
From modest beginnings, the workshop was renamed as ISMAC in 2009 to attract a more international audience. Since then ISMAC has been the venue for the presentation of over 400 papers and has been hosted in three countries– Japan, the Philippines and Thailand.
This year, ISMAC returns to the Philippines for the third time on August 20-22, 2025 in Bohol Island, Philippines. ISMAC 2025 is regarded as a platform for the introduction and discussion of new and advanced technologies within their respective research fields..
