CHICAGO -- SIGGRAPH 2017 has opened its call for submissions to invite scholars, innovators, and creative practitioners in various existing or emerging disciplines within computer graphics and interactive techniques to showcase their expertise and unique technical and creative innovations next summer. The event marks the 44th International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, and will be held 30 July–3 August 2017 in Los Angeles.
Join thousands of scholars, creative practitioners, and industry professionals and submit work for consideration. The 2017 conference is looking to both the heart of computer graphics and interactive techniques as well as the future of the industry in designing its programming, which will make up five days of research results, demos, educational sessions, art, screenings, and hands-on interactivity.
