SIPAI 2027 will be held in Xining, China from February 26-28, 2027.

Nestled on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, Xining is far more than a stopover—it is a gateway to wonder, where ancient Silk Road crossroads meet vibrant contemporary life. This year, we invite you to discover a city where centuries of diverse ethnic traditions and spiritual heritage harmoniously intertwine with modern academic exchange.

Xining offers a strikingly authentic backdrop for thought and dialogue. Imagine engaging in groundbreaking conversations with the distant snowy peaks of the Qilian Mountains framing the view, or finding inspiration during breaks beside the tranquil waters of the Huangshui River. The city’s unique blend of Tibetan, Muslim, and Han cultures, alongside its crisp plateau air and sweeping highland landscapes, creates an extraordinary environment for creativity, reflection, and genuine human connection.

Beyond the conference hall, lose yourself in bustling bazaars fragrant with spices, savor the warmth of local hospitality over a bowl of hand-pulled noodles, and explore serene monasteries that whisper stories of faith and resilience. This is more than a conference—it’s a chance to broaden your perspective in a city that has long welcomed travelers, traders, and seekers from across Asia.

Join us in Xining for an unforgettable gathering that will enrich both your mind and spirit. Prepare to be captivated.
