Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 are graphics-related, attendee-organized, informational discussions of shared interests, goals, technologies, arts and/or backgrounds. Those sessions are to focus on topics that are relevant to computer graphics or interactive techniques community, celebrating, connecting, and enabling new collaborations. BOF sessions also welcome proposals on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) topics.

General Information:

A BOF meeting is an attendee-organized, informational discussion of shared interests, goals, technologies and/or backgrounds that are graphics or interactive techniques related. The key word there is “discussion” – attendees gather to discuss a topic of interest and is up to organizers to define the format.

BOF meetings must be:

Related to computer graphics or interactive techniques
Open to all registered attendees
Non-commercial in nature (topics specific to one commercial product or company are not allowed)
Free of recruitment, sales, product tutorials or company promotion

All BOF proposals are reviewed and approved by the Conference Chair based on the above criteria and can be cancelled by SIGGRAPH Asia if their description/intent changes. Exceptions will be considered for reunion-type or industry non-profit groups for some requirements. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) submissions must be marked as DEI proposal in the submission form, and they will be reviewed by ACM SIGGRAPH DEI committee.

Submissions are open now till 1 September 2024. Acceptance or rejection notices will be sent to all submitters by mid-October 2024.

BOFs scheduled by the deadline will be listed on the conference website.

If you have questions, please send them to cmasia@siggraph.org.

ACM SIGGRAPH strives to create a welcoming and nurturing community for everyone working in computer graphics and interactive techniques independent of gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background, religion, country of origin, or abilities. Work submitted to this program should be in alignment with these values.

For any submission to an ACM SIGGRAPH conference or Standing Committee activity, the person in charge (PIC) of the program should be aware of and sensitive to potential issues pertaining to the ACM SIGGRAPH values of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. If an issue is identified, then the authors of the submission shall be asked to modify their submission to resolve the issue before acceptance. If the PIC is unsure if there is an issue, then they should contact the Chair of the DEI Committee for advice.
