Founded in 1947 as the society of the computing community, the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is dedicated to the
development of information processing as a discipline, and to the
responsible use of computers in an increasing diversity
of applications.
The ACM SIGGRAPH is the premier organization in the world in the area of computer graphics. Its annual conference each year draws developers, artists, students and vendors. The interests are varied, including the Electronic Theatre, SIGKids, the Art & Design show, The Edge, interactive live performances, tutorials, papers and panels and the latest and greatest in computer graphics.
SIGGRAPH '98 Orlando, Florida July 19-24, 1998.
It's not unusual to attend a tutorial conducted by Dennis Muren,
a multiple-Oscar winner for such films as Terminator 2 and
Jurassic Park. And at the course, you may be sitting next
to a producer, graphic designer or software developer who did
that fantastic commercial you saw on the TV last week!

The Denver/Boulder ACM SIGGRAPH serves the Front Range computer
graphics community
with meetings, Professional Development Seminars, newsletters and
and on-line BBS that lists events of interest in the near future.
Locally we've held juried and non-juried computer art shows. Our meetings cover topics to satisfy the curiousity of our diverse constituency that include both the software designer and the graphic artist as well as the promising student who wants to work at ILM someday!
As an educational organization, the D/B ACM SIGGRAPH always welcomes the public to its activities.
