  SIGGRAPH - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SIGGRAPH (short for Special Interest Group in Graphics) is the name of the annual conference on computer graphics convened by the ACM SIGGRAPH organization.
SIGGRAPH also offers many full- and half-day courses in state-of-the-art computer graphics topics, as well as shorter "sketch" presentations where artists and researchers discuss their latest work.
SIGGRAPH 2005 was held from July 31 to August 4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

 SIGGRAPH: Past and Present
Today, the first SIGGRAPH convention probably seems nerdy and sterile, but those pioneers are responsible for stimulating the birth of the photo-real visual effects industry that we take for granted.
SIGGRAPH has expanded from 30 signatures on a petition to start a computer graphics group in 1967, to 40,000 attendees expected at this summer's conference.
It is not so much that the SIGGRAPH culture has changed; it has expanded to include today's breed of computer animators and their recruiters.

 How to Get Your SIGGRAPH Paper Rejected   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
SIGGRAPH is one of the few high-quality publications that can publish a paper in less than a year.
Tom Sederberg, the SIGGRAPH 91 chair, has called the people who can ferret out the good features of your paper "paper champions." On the other hand, there may be a committee member who is very articulate, forceful, and negative, who argues against your paper.
SIGGRAPH really does want papers about user interfaces, visualization, graphics hardware, graphics software systems, interactive techniques, displays, innovative applications, video games, combined graphics and sound, hypermedia, virtual reality, typesetting, color, paint systems, image and video compression, image and video processing, and how to make pictures that aren't just pretty but say something too.

 SIGGRAPH 2004 Wrap-Up
The SIGGRAPH conference usually alternates between meeting in California and meeting in another part of the country, but this year was an exception, meeting in Los Angeles for the second year in a row.
While SIGGRAPH is an unparalleled educational experience, it also is a place to party and meet old friends and colleagues, and a place where people are recruited and offered jobs.
The trend towards SIGGRAPH becoming populated more and more by students continued this year, with several schools making a field trip out of the conference, and students finding it easier to visit SIGGRAPH during their summer vacations than professionals who had to work.

 Gamasutra - Features "SIGGRAPH Wrap Up" [08.20.99]
This year marks the 30th anniversary of SIGGRAPH (the organization, not the show), and many special activities reminded attendants of the relevance of computer graphics throughout the last three decades.
As in past years, SIGGRAPH was divided into the classic three areas: the courses and panels, where world-class scientists and engineers discussed hot new topics; the main exhibition floor where companies showcase their new products and technologies; and the special activities, ranging from art galleries to movie passes and parties.
Another funny thing to point out is that SIGGRAPH seems to have its own fashion standard: the worse you are at matching dress colors, the more important you are.

For the second year running, I attended SIGGRAPH as an exhibitor, which meant that I had the privilege of hanging around the exhibition show floor before and after the show, and the trepidation of having to deal with the unreasonable amounts of work that came with it.
Nevertheless, this SIGGRAPH past was one of the most successful shows that we have had the honor of being part of as both a media partner and exhibitor.
The SIGGRAPH conference is usually held alternatively between California and another part of the US, but for the last two years it has remained in the Western film capital of Los Angeles.
