The 9th International Conference on Sampling Theory and Applications (SampTA 2011) was  held for the first time in Asia at the Yunnan Garden Campus of the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore from May 2 - 6, 2011.

The SampTA 2011 Programme included an intense week of exciting technical talks and social activities.

The Opening Ceremony was graced by Professor Bertil Andersson, President of NTU, who welcomed the 132 participants hailing from 26 countries. The Opening Keynote by Professor Martin Vetterli kickstarted the Technical Programme from which followed  7 Plenary Talks by other prominent speakers such as Stephane Mallat, John Benedetto, Graham Goodwin, Albert Cohen, Shen Zuowei, Willy Sansen and Field's Medalist Steve Smale. All of the papers presented at the Regular Sessions on traditional topics and Special Sessions on selected topics in sampling theory and applications are now available in digital form in the  Conference Proceedings.
