The SIGNIS Asia Assembly 2025 is set to bring together media professionals, communicators, and faith leaders from across Asia for a transformative gathering in the Philippines from October 21 to 25. This year’s assembly will be hosted in Manila and Tagaytay, offering participants a unique blend of professional development and cultural immersion.
Drawing inspiration from the Jubilee of Hope and Pope Francis’s message to “Share with Gentleness the Hope that is in your Hearts,” the 2025 assembly places communication at the center of peacebuilding efforts. The theme highlights how media professionals can act as catalysts for positive social change throughout the Asian continent.
The assembly follows a structured format designed to maximize both learning and networking opportunities. Study Days, scheduled for October 22-24, will feature presentations, reflections, and in-depth discussions. Business Day: October 25 will focus on organizational matters and future planning.
These sessions aim to equip participants with practical tools and strategies for using dialogue, storytelling, and digital platforms to promote reconciliation, justice, and sustainable development throughout Asia.
Beyond the formal programming, the assembly serves as a networking hub for faith-based communicators. Participants will have opportunities to forge new collaborations, strengthen existing working relationships, and build lasting friendships with like-minded professionals from across the region.
The Philippines’ selection as the host nation adds a special dimension to the gathering. Attendees will experience the country’s renowned hospitality while exploring its rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and vibrant creative communities. From the bustling energy of Manila to the scenic beauty of Tagaytay, participants will witness firsthand the unique Filipino identity that blends tradition, spirituality, and contemporary innovation.
The SIGNIS Asia Assembly 2025 represents more than just a professional conference—it’s an opportunity for Asia’s faith communicators to unite around a shared vision of hope, peace, and positive transformation through the power of media and storytelling.
