Founded in 1969, ACM SIGGRAPH has grown from a handful of computer graphics enthusiasts to a diverse group of researchers, ar ... tists, developers, filmmakers, scientists, and other professionals who share an interest in computer graphics and interactive techniques. Our community values excellence, passion, integrity, volunteerism, and cross-disciplinary interaction. We sponsor not only the annual SIGGRAPH conferences, but also focused symposia, chapters in cities throughout the world, awards, grants, educational resources, online resources, a public policy program, traveling art show, and the SIGGRAPH Video Review. When researchers, artists, and technologists collide, inspiration creates progress. SIGGRAPH conference content – whether invited or submitted – is selected by a jury of experts who find the most transformative advancements across computer graphics and interactive techniques. The result: participants leave with the information and relationships they need to advance themselves and their fields.
