WELCOME TO SIGGRAPH
-------------------

Greetings!  We invite you to join us at SIGGRAPH 93, the 20th Annual 
International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, in 
Anaheim, California, 1 to 6 August 1993. At SIGGRAPH 93 we will celebrate 
where we have been and where we are going in an exciting environment that 
will include art, science, engineering, products, education, and discussion.  
People from all over the world and from varied academic and professional 
fields will gather to learn about the latest ideas and innovations in 
computer graphics.  This energetic mix of people, ideas, and technology 
always sparks fresh, new industry directions and gives rise to SIGGRAPH 93's 
conference theme:  The Eye of Technology.   SIGGRAPH again breaks new ground 
at this year's conference.  In addition to technical papers, courses, panel 
discussions, tomorrow's realities, SIGKids, the electronic theater, and the 
exhibition, several exciting programs will premiere.  Multimedia 93 is the 
Association for Computing Machinery's first international conference on 
multimedia.  This new conference, running 4 to 6 August, will be co-located 
with SIGGRAPH 93.  Also at SIGGRAPH for the first time are designing 
technology, machine culture, and a general session-Behind the Scenes:  
Computer Graphics in Film.  Join us!  We hope that you will be one of the 
more than 30,000 people we expect to attend SIGGRAPH 93.  If you have an eye 
on the future, be a part of the vision at SIGGRAPH 93 in Anaheim.

to immerse yourself in new technology, art, animation, virtual reality, 
multimedia, film video, scientific visualization, engineering, and more. For 
example, the exhibit floor offers everyone a chance to learn about the 
latest products; the fundamentals seminar offers novices an introduction to 
computer graphics; and the technical program provides sessions for all 
levels of expertise, from basic to very advanced. Come, join us in the eye 
of technology.

Behind the Scenes: Computer Graphics in Film

In an exciting event for all attendees, SIGGRAPH 93 brings together some of 
the top creators of computer graphics in films for an inside look at how the 
images that have changed Hollywood are made. They will share secrets and 
describe how special effects are developed for movies such as "Terminator 2" 
and "Batman."

Presenters will talk about the artistry of creating computer graphics for 
film, discuss and show film from recent projects, and show live computer 
demonstrations of animation, morphing, and other visual effects.

You'll have a great time and go away with a new appreciation for the 
thousands of hours required to create a few exciting minutes of computer 
graphics on film.

	Open Scheduling 

Special interest groups and birds-of-a-feather sessions both bring like 
minds together. They are a great way for people to meet, exchange ideas, and 
share information on a wide variety of computer graphics interests. SIGGRAPH 
93 provides meeting space for both types of groups. 

Special interest groups are organized in advance of the conference, and the 
topics, times, and locations of these meetings are posted in the 
registration area, if requested. Meetings scheduled by 7 June 1993 are 
listed in the Final Program, if requested. 

Birds-of-a-feather sessions are planned on site. During SIGGRAPH 93, anyone 
can organize one of these impromptu meetings simply by using the sign-up 
board in the registration area.

SIGGRAPH:  THE ORGANIZATION
---------------------------
BEHIND THE SCENES

SIGGRAPH is the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group 
on Computer Graphics. Started in 1967, SIGGRAPH has grown from a handful of 
computer graphics enthusiasts to a diverse membership of 12,000 people, 
including artists, engineers, animators, filmmakers, software and hardware 
developers, scientists, mathematicians, and other professionals in the field 
of computer graphics. 

In addition to its own annual conference, siggraph sponsors other 
conferences, supports a wide range of educational activities, produces a 
variety of publications, and maintains active relationships with other 
professional technical organizations around the world. SIGGRAPH has 
established local groups across the united states and internationally. 

For general information on SIGGRAPH and ACM membership, contact ACM 
headquarters at 212-626-0500 or acmhelp@acm.org.
