- This article is about the computer graphics conference. For the professional organization that sponsors the conference, see ACM SIGGRAPH. ACM SIGGRAPH is the New York-based Association for Computing Machinery 's Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques
SIGGRAPH (short for Special Interest Group on GRAPHics and Interactive Techniques) is the name of the annual conference on computer graphics (CG) convened by the ACM SIGGRAPH organization. The term hydraulophone refers to one of an interactive acoustic sound sculpture typically in the form of a civic centerpiece used in landscape architecture or Computer graphics are Graphics created by Computers and more generally the Representation and Manipulation of Pictorial Data The Association for Computing Machinery, or ACM, was founded in 1947 as the world's first scientific and educational Computing society The first SIGGRAPH conference was in 1974. Year 1974 ( MCMLXXIV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the 1974 Gregorian calendar. The conference is attended by tens of thousands of computer professionals, and has most recently been held in San Diego. Past SIGGRAPH conferences have been held in Dallas, Seattle, Los Angeles, New Orleans, San Diego and elsewhere across the United States.

Overview
Some highlights of the conference are its Animation Theater and Electronic Theater presentations, where recently created CG films are played. There is a large exhibition floor, where several hundred companies set up elaborate booths and compete for attention and recruits. Most of the companies are in the engineering, graphics, motion picture, or video game industries. There are also many booths for schools which specialize in computer graphics or interactivity.
Dozens of research papers are presented each year, and SIGGRAPH is widely considered the most prestigious forum for the publication of computer graphics research. The recent paper acceptance rate for SIGGRAPH has been less than 20% [1]. The papers accepted for presentation at SIGGRAPH are currently printed in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Graphics journal. ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG is a quarterly scientific journal that aims to disseminate the latest findings of note in the field of computer graphics Prior to 2002, SIGGRAPH papers were printed in the SIGGRAPH Conference Proceedings series of publications.
In addition to the papers, there are numerous panels of industry experts set up to discuss a wide variety of topics, from computer graphics to machine interactivity to education. 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 Asia
As of 2008, SIGGRAPH conferences will also be held in Asia [2], in addition to the conferences in the United States. The 2008 SIGGRAPH Asia conference is to be held in Singapore from the tenth to the thirteenth of December at the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre and will include an Exhibition from the eleventh to the thirteenth.
