Equipment Insurance

    Unfortunately, every conference experiences some theft. While SIGGRAPH Asia 2013 does provide security at the convention center, you should exercise standard precautions in securing equipment (especially small, mobile items) when it is in the convention center.

     

    As a service to our contributors, SIGGRAPH Asia 2013 insures equipment from the time it enters HKCEC to the time it leaves the convention center, provided: (a) receipt and outbound shipping occur while the convention center is occupied by SIGGRAPH Asia 2013, and (b) an Equipment Insurance form was completed and submitted on or before 15 October 2013. If you have not completed and submitted the insurance form by 15 October 2013, your equipment will not be insured by SIGGRAPH Asia 2013.

     

    Please note:

    • SIGGRAPH Asia 2013 does not insure personal items, such as cell phones, digital cameras, laptops, camcorders, etc.
    • SIGGRAPH Asia 2013 does not insure equipment in transit to or from the conference. Please be sure to insure your equipment during shipment.
