China Digital Entertainment Conference is a national-scale digital-culture and entertainment industry event that, in recent editions, has positioned “digital humans” as a core demonstration and commercialization track rather than a side exhibit: the 2024 conference was described as being co-hosted by China Cultural Entertainment Industry Association (中国文化娱乐行业协会) and the People’s Government of Tianhe District and staged at venues including Guangzhou Library, with show-floor setups explicitly featuring “digital virtual humans,” AI-interactive digital humans, and integrated “all-in-one” digital human devices intended for public-facing interaction and content delivery. Coverage around the 2024 “conference + exhibition” format also highlights immersive demo areas where digital humans are bundled into broader AIGC/immersive pipelines (for example, AIGC 3D digital human video-creation platforms and other interactive tech), framing digital humans as production infrastructure for ongoing media output, not only as characters or mascots. By late 2025 reporting, the event is described as having been permanently located in Tianhe District starting in 2024, and the “digital human” storyline expands from devices and demos into applied scenarios such as event or venue services (including references to “digital human volunteers”) and cultural experiences where digital humans “animate” heritage or accompany visitors, reflecting a shift toward operational deployment across cultural venues and large-scale public events.
