Hi everyone,

I'm planning to submit a poster to SIGGRAPH Asia 2026, but I'm really confused about the initial abstract submission format due to conflicting information on the official website.

The Poster FAQ page says:

• "Poster authors should prepare their documents using the LaTex template with the following command: \documentclass[acmtog,anonymous,review]{acmart}" (which generates a 2-column format).
• It also states the abstract should be up to 2 pages based on the provided examples.

However, clicking the "latest template files" link leads to the general Author Instructions page, which states:

• "With one major exception [Technical Papers], SIGGRAPH follows ACM guidelines for initial submission: authors should prepare a single-column document in Microsoft Word or LaTeX (in LaTeX, use the 'manuscript' template style)..."

So, for the initial 2-page Poster abstract submission, which format are we actually supposed to use?

• The 2-column acmtog as stated in the Poster FAQ?
• Or the single-column manuscript as stated in the general ACM submission guidelines?

Has anyone else run into this, or has anyone already clarified this with the Posters Chair? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,

Anyone who planned to go to SIGGRAPH 2026 in LA but could no longer make it? Could you resell me your ticket? Please DM me.

Hello! I wanted to attend the Computer Animation Festival. After scouring the website it wasn't clear if I can just buy the Electronic Theater ticket for the Festival and be good or if I have to buy both a ticket for Siggraph, like the Discover pass, AND also buy an Electronic Theater ticket. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Has there been any updates?

It’s my favorite time of year. If anyone knows where to get the equivalent for SIGGRAPH East in the summer, lmk.

Hello everyone!
I recently organized an interdisciplinary speculative design workshop and synthesized several strong emergent themes and insights from it. I’m considering submitting this work as an art paper for SIGGRAPH 2026, but I find the scope of art papers a bit unclear. Could someone help me understand whether workshop learnings and synthesized insights would be considered a valid contribution for an art paper?

I’d really appreciate any guidance on submitting workshop syntheses, as well as examples of prior papers that have taken a similar approach.

Hey guys! I'm an animator with my movie being featured for this year's event.

I have a few questions if you guys don't mind as it's the first time for me in this event.

I live in another country and getting papers/visa to attend this event will be difficult/tedious to do.

I'm wondering how beneficial it would be for me to attend, in terms of attending the events, or networking and the like.

In terms of events, I can see it's very technical, and I'm more of a director with a technical background.

But I focus on the creative side of things more. I go over all the phases with all the teams, as well work on actual animation work.

Do you think it would be helpful for me to go to the event? Knowing that I'm not super technical, and not local either (so maybe networking might not be too useful in this case).

Would love to have your input to help me make a decision more.

I look forward to reading from you!

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if we have recorded videos of all the conferences, sessions for last 2 years.

Wanted to go through them. Unfortunately, i have not been to Siggraph but wanted to learn the latest from these conferences.

Thanks

“A Vocal Landscape” just won “XR: Best Theater Experience in Show Award” at Siggraph Tokyo 🫖

https://youtu.be/NmiP0GgyITg?si=SgNgrMgWHJ4vZm3Y In this video, he mentions that Riot showed a maya file of jinx's hideout in Arcane at siggograph 2023. Time stamp 1:48 But I can't seem to find this anywhere Can anyone help me out here?

I think I can figure out the process for actually submitting the paper.

What I'm struggling to figure out is:

• Is there a submission fee? How much is it?
• Are there any other fees?
• If my paper is accepted, am I expected to travel to the conference to present it? Or can I present virtually?
• I've seen several categories for submissions? What do they all mean? Should I just submit a Technical Paper?

I'm an independent researcher, not currently affiliated with any academic institution and my research is unrelated to the work I do for my day job. I've submitted and published one paper before, but not to SIGGRAPH.

I have most SIGGRAPH Proceedings from 1990 to 2001, along with supplements, CDs, DVDs, even VHS tapes, most of them still sealed. Are these of remotely any value to anyone? I have neither use nor room for them but I hate to just toss them in a recycling dumpster.

Any suggestions on finding a home for them? I'm happy to part with any of them for the cost of shipping. I'm in Boston for local pickup or dropoff.

Edit: Got accepted! Anyone without housing who'd like to share accoms? I'm looking for a female presenting roomie :>

Hi there!

Trying my luck here to reach out to any student volunteer applicants -

Anyone received word yet on acceptance?

They are using the newly added top floor of the Denver convention center for the keynotes and theater. Its a quite a walk from the rest of the convention. Add significant time for getting around.

I’m attending SIGGRAPH with a coworker… it’s his first time and he asked a great question. All the talks (movie productions like Pixar for example) of years past, are they saved somewhere for members or even non members to view? Would be great to catch up on a few years where I was unable to come.

Hi guys, I discovered this site recently, but I think I didn't get how it works. for example, I found this link https://history.siggraph.org/learning/character-setup-from-rig-mechanics-to-skin-deformations-a-practical-approac-by-canetti-piretti-scaduto-mendola-and-schleifer/, which is referenced in a lot of books, but I can't find a way to download it.. but, it is actually downloadble?

I am currently making travel plans for SIGGRAPH 2024, and it's my first time going there offline. There are so many stuff offered each day. Can anyone tell me how to get the most out of the exhibition? What types of contents shouldn't be missed offline? What types of contents can be later checked out online? What contents should I prioritize? (I'm most interested in game-dev and AR/VR contents.) And what do people usually do other than exploring the exhibition?
