About

Shanghai ACM SIGGRAPH CHAPTER, founded in 2016, has been dedicated to promoting and developing software and hardware technologies for computer graphics and animation production. Shanghai ACM SIGGRAPH is a non-profit trade body that operates and organizes for educational, scientific, and artistic purposes in Shanghai. Its goal is to promote the growth of knowledge and interest in education, in the arts and sciences, and in modern computing applications of computer graphics. Promote the open exchange of information by promoting the highest professional and ethical standards to serve the professional and public interests. Shanghai ACM SIGGRAPH regularly holds seminars and exhibitions, invites overseas experts to communicate, keeps pace with The Times, and provides the latest information to domestic members.

What is ACM SIGGRAPH?

ACM is the world’s largest professional academic organization in the field of computer, founded in 1947, is the world’s first scientific and educational computer society, currently in more than 130 countries and regions around the world has more than 100,000 members. ACM brings together international computer educators, researchers, industry, and students in a Special Interest Group (SIGs). Worldwide lectures and talks are also held every year around the world (but mainly in the United States) for members to share their research results.

SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group for Computer GRAPHICS), founded in 1967, has been devoted to the promotion and development of computer graphics and animation software and hardware technology. Since 1974, SIGGRAPH has held an annual conference, and since 1981 a CG (Computer Graphics) exhibition has been added. Most of the computer graphics software and hardware manufacturers will present their latest research results at SIGGRAPH every year, and most of the computer animation creators of games will showcase their most outstanding art works of the year at SIGGRAPH. Therefore, SIGGRAPH has a considerable influence on graphics and image technology, computer software and hardware, and CG.

Siggraph Asia is the SIGGRAPH computer graphics and interactive technology exhibition and conference organized by the International Society of Graphics and Imaging. At present, SIGGRAPH generally refers to the conference in the United States. At present, the International Academic Ranking (hpca) of this conference is A+, and the hpca ranking of SIGGRAPH EuroGraphics (Europe) and SIGGRAPH Asia (Asia) are both A level. This is billed as one of the top three graphics conferences. Siggraph came to Asia in 2008. The first SIGGRAPHAsia Asia Computer Graphics and Interactive Technology Exhibition and Conference was held in Singapore from December 9 to 13. This is the first time that SIGGRAPH, the world’s largest computer graphics and imaging event, chose to hold a chapter outside the United States. It is not only a big stage to review the rapid development of Asian CG industry in recent years, but also a highway for Asian CG to the world. SIGGRAPH Asia currently has two branches in China, Shenzhen and Shanghai.
