Due to a confluence of circumstances: financial, logistical, and personal we are unable to hold the conference as planned this year. We deeply apologize for this and are sad that we will not be able to meet in Tokyo this year, as we had planned.

AsiaBSDCon has weathered financial downturns, an earthquake and other very real challenges since it was started 20 years ago. For the conference to have a vibrant future some things must change and we are undertaking these changes presently, and are also going to be asking for help from the community.

Changes with immediate effect:

Cancelation of AsiaBSDCon 2025
Creation of a Transition Organizing Committee including: Li-Wen Hsu, Philip Paeps, George Nevill-Neil, and Hiroki Sato.
Li-Wen Hsu to lead AsiaBSDCon 2026 which was already planned for Taiwan. This will allow for a smooth transition into next year's conference.
Call for recruitment to the 2026 AsiaBSDCon PC (George has agreed to head the PC and recruit people but volunteering now will greatly aid our work for the 2026 conference).
Call for financial support of the conference. The biggest challenge to AsiaBSDCon has been inconsistent funding, sometimes due to internal issues within the Project and at times due to the vagaries of global finance including fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the currencies used. As many of you know AsiaBSDCon pays for travel and lodging for speakers and this is a significant part of our costs, and we do not see that changing. Travel to Asia for many of our speakers is costly and cannot be evenly borne by all speakers. The conference needs to have a cushion of at least $100,000 USD in the bank in order to make sure that people and vendors are paid on time.
The Transition Organizing Committee started discussions on how to solve this situation. Please contact committee@asiabsdcon.org directly if you can help by joining the AsiaBSDCon PC, recruitment of speakers, or financing, which are always the two top priorities when running a successful conference.

We know that this may all come as a bit of shock to the community but we believe that this shock and reset of the conference will make it stronger and give it the ability to provide excellent papers, talks and hallway discussions for another twenty years.
