SIGGRAPH 2028 — 55th International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques

SIGGRAPH 2028 runs 30 July to 3 August 2028 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is the 55th edition of ACM SIGGRAPH's annual conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques. Diana Arellano has been named conference chair. SIGGRAPH is the venue where rendering, simulation, animation and increasingly generative AI research is first presented and where the film, games, visual effects and industrial visualisation industries evaluate it — recent editions have drawn roughly 9,000 to 14,000 in-person attendees. Arellano has said of the programme direction that with the rapid establishment of AI as a tool and a way of living there will be plenty of opportunities to speed up and facilitate processes, but that more than ever the focus needs to turn to the attendees, signalling a human-centred framing for the 2028 edition.

For anyone whose business depends on visual content production — media, games, advertising, product visualisation, simulation — SIGGRAPH is where you find out which generative and rendering techniques are about to become standard in your pipeline and which are still three years from production. A technology or product leader gets the research, the studio post-mortems on shipped work, and the vendor floor in a single week, which is the combination that makes it possible to judge whether a technique is real. Booking a 2028 edition this far out matters because Vancouver editions historically draw the largest crowds and hotel inventory near the convention district goes early.

• ✓Technical Papers programme — the peer-reviewed research core of the conference
• ✓Production and industry sessions where studios present how released work was actually made
• ✓Exhibition floor covering GPUs, rendering, capture and creative tooling vendors
• ✓Emerging Technologies, Art Gallery and Computer Animation Festival juried programmes

• ★55th edition of the conference that has defined computer graphics since 1974, and the venue where techniques reach industry years before they ship in commercial tools
• ★Returns to Vancouver, which drew 12,400+ attendees when it last hosted in 2025 — the strongest recent turnout
• ★Chaired by Diana Arellano, who has explicitly framed the edition around attendee experience alongside AI's role as a production tool
• ★Uniquely spans research papers, production sessions from studios, an exhibition floor and juried art and animation programmes in one event
