Hello Phellow Philly SIGGRAPHers!

Our first event, a screening of the ACM SIGGRAPH 2023 Computer Animation Festival at Cesium was a smashing success, with over 60 people in attendance! Thank you for showing out for such a wonderful evening of computer graphics excellence. 

But we’re not sitting on that success. In fact, for our next event, we’re hoping YOU might supply the art. Yes, that’s right, it’s a Bring Your Own Art and Animation (BYOA) event. Screen works-in-progress, get feedback and encouragement, and enjoy some more great times with the Philly SIGGRAPH community. You don’t have to share your work to participate though – it will be great to have you there anyway.

Note that this is a VIRTUAL event that will happen on our Discord server (see below on how to join).

Hello Phellow Philly SIGGRAPHers!

Our first official event as a SIGGRAPH Professional Chapter is upon us! Join us in person at Cesium on Thursday, January 25th at 6pm for a happy hour and screening of the ACM SIGGRAPH 2023 Computer Animation Festival.

If you weren’t able to make this year’s conference, then this is a great opportunity to catch one of the hallmark events of every SIGGRAPH, the Computer Animation Festival. It’s a unique collection of the year’s top computer graphics visuals, from game cinematics to feature film vfx to animated shorts, and everything in-between. Catch the trailer on YouTube!

Many thanks to our wonderful sponsor Cesium for hosting our first event. Network with fellow professionals, enjoy light refreshments, and watch some of the best animation you’ll see all year!

Philly SIGGRAPH Chapter Preparing to Launch!

by

Hello Phellow Philly SIGGRAPHers!

We are excited to announce that the ACM SIGGRAPH Philadelphia Professional Chapter has been officially chartered!

We are so grateful for the interest in starting the newest local professional chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH. Thanks to the overwhelming response we received from the local computer graphics community, we were able to submit our petition to charter early Fall 2023 and meet the requirements for founding a chapter.

Our officer board has been set with the following members:

  • Valentina Miller, Chair
  • Anjelikal Rogers, Vice-Chair
  • Fatma Ozen, Secretary
  • Brittany Gilbert-Demarco, Treasurer
  • Chris Morris, Webmaster
  • Geoff Beatty, Membership Coordinator
  • Natasha Warshawsky, Chapters Committee representative

We are eager to plan our first official event in early 2024, and we want it to be a big one! For that, we need you to continue to spread the word. You can encourage others to sign up by forwarding this link:

Thanks again for your support, and looking forward to bringing the wonderful comradery, professional networking, and mind-expanding educational opportunities we’ve come to expect from SIGGRAPH.

Cheers!

The Philly SIGGRAPH team
