SIGGRAPH 2027
by ACM SIGGRAPH
The 54th annual computer graphics and interactive techniques conference, moving to Anaheim
About This Event
SIGGRAPH 2027, the 54th annual ACM conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques, runs 8–12 August 2027 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California — a move from Los Angeles, where the 2026 edition drew more than 9,500 attendees from 69 countries. Conference chair Kristy Pron, a Walt Disney Imagineer, leads the programme. SIGGRAPH has become a primary venue for applied generative AI: the 2026 edition centred on neural rendering, Gaussian splatting, robotics and immersive storytelling, and debuted a dedicated Games Summit track alongside a keynote from Disney Imagineer Lanny Smoot. The conference pairs a juried Technical Papers programme with a large exhibition floor, courses, and production sessions from film, games and visual-effects studios.

- ✓Technical directors in film, VFX and games
- ✓Product and design technology leaders
- ✓Creative technologists
- ✓GPU and hardware platform teams
Why Attend
SIGGRAPH is where generative visual AI stops being a demo and becomes a production pipeline. For a CTO or VP of engineering in media, gaming, product design, simulation or industrial digital twins, five days here shows which neural-rendering and 3D-generation techniques studios have actually shipped, what hardware they run them on, and which vendors survived contact with a real delivery deadline. The exhibition floor puts GPU, cloud, content-creation-tool and middleware vendors in one hall for side-by-side evaluation, and the courses programme is a credible way to upskill a graphics or ML team in a single trip.
Event Features
- ✓Juried Technical Papers programme — SIGGRAPH's flagship peer-reviewed research track
- ✓Games Summit, the dedicated one-day games track introduced at SIGGRAPH 2026

What Makes This Unique
- ★Moves to the Anaheim Convention Center after the 2026 edition filled the Los Angeles Convention Center with more than 9,500 attendees from 69 countries.
- ★Its juried Technical Papers programme is one of the most selective venues in computer science — a peer-reviewed research track, not a pay-to-present expo.
- ★Chaired by Walt Disney Imagineer Kristy Pron, keeping the programme anchored in production practice rather than research alone.
- ★The Games Summit, introduced at SIGGRAPH 2026, gives games practitioners a dedicated track inside SIGGRAPH for the first time.
