CHICAGO, Jan. 30,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SIGGRAPH 2025, the premier
conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques, boldly
looks toward the future to imagine how humanity and technology will
connect and enhance our physical and digital worlds. The annual
SIGGRAPH conference will return to Vancouver, British Columbia, 10–14 August.
Submissions are open for many programs, with the major General
Submissions deadline closing 18 February. SIGGRAPH 2025 invites
researchers, artists, production specialists, filmmakers,
educators, and more to submit conference content that transforms
technology and advances the human story.

"SIGGRAPH is long renowned for its high-quality content spanning
production, animation, VFX, art, research, and immersive and new
technologies," SIGGRAPH 2025 Conference Chair Ginger Alford, of Southern
Methodist University, says. "This year, we strive to raise
the bar and solicit content that showcases and celebrates our
collective drive to connect, comprehend, and express the essence of
the human experience through the technology we create and consume.
Nearly every program will touch upon Generative AI and its uses,
focusing on how these tools empower artists and enable the creation
of digital worlds at a scale and in real time, supporting the
digital twin revolution. I am eager to discover how our community's
excellent work will unite our physical and digital worlds for the
better."
Generative AI is just one of the topics that SIGGRAPH's
longstanding and new programs will explore. The 2025 Technical
Papers program, SIGGRAPH's premier venue for scholarly research, is
known for highlighting advancements in AI, simulation, modeling,
visualization, immersive experiences, and more. Technical Papers
recently saw strong interest with more than 970 submissions — the
program's highest submission rate in the 52 years of the
conference.
Popular programs like Real-Time Live!, Posters, Immersive
Pavilion, and Emerging Technologies, among others, are now
accepting submissions. Open submissions include SIGGRAPH's leading
production and animation programs — Production Sessions and the
Computer Animation Festival. The Computer Animation Festival is an
Academy Award® Qualifying Festival for the "Best in Show" award
winner in the short film category. The full program is expanding
this year to include the Electronic Theater, Animation Theater, and
a Special Film Event. As Vancouver
is home to 39% of Canada's most
popular filming locations, with British
Columbia representing 36% of film and television production
in the country, SIGGRAPH's return to "Hollywood North" is an
exciting occasion to recognize production and animation excellence
in this major industry hub.
Among SIGGRAPH's core offerings is a new opportunity for
submission — the Spatial Storytelling program. This new,
creator-centric showcase is a place to present spatial technology
work, revealing behind-the-scenes mapping and capturing of a
spatial environment, as well as the interaction within. Presenters
show computer graphics enthusiasts exactly how immersive
experiences, environments, and performances are built. And when it
comes to SIGGRAPH, there are always a few surprises in store. More
details and conference content will be revealed in the months
leading up to SIGGRAPH 2025.
The innovation and inspiration continue with the recent
appointment of the SIGGRAPH 2027 Conference Chair. After leading
the SIGGRAPH 2020 all-virtual conference, Kristy Pron will return as chair of the 54th
conference, taking place in Anaheim,
California, 8–12 August 2027. Pron will follow SIGGRAPH 2026
Conference Chair Chris Redmann and
the Los Angeles event, 19–23 July
2026. Now, become an active co-creator of the future and submit
your stories and ideas to SIGGRAPH 2025.
