SIGGRAPH 2025: Technical Workshops
Conference:
Frontiers Chair (in charge of Technical Workshops as well):
- Adam W. Bargteil - University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Overview:
Explore open research questions, engage with experts, and collaborate on innovative solutions to complex challenges. This pilot program fosters dynamic, hands-on discussions designed to push the boundaries of computer graphics and interactive techniques, driving forward new ideas and breakthroughs for tomorrow.
Call for Participation
A new Technical Workshops Program is being piloted at SIGGRAPH 2025. The purpose of Technical Workshops is to provide a comprehensive, interactive forum to discuss topics that will not be fully explored during other technical programs at SIGGRAPH and to encourage in-depth, engaging discussion of advanced topics, involve experts in the field, disseminate work in progress, and promote new ideas. The Technical Workshops program is distinct from, and a complement to, SIGGRAPH’s long-running Courses program. Technical Workshops is not the appropriate program for tutorials or state-of-the-art reports. Instead, Technical Workshops should focus on emerging, open research questions and encourage a deep exploration of topics relevant to the SIGGRAPH Technical Community. Potential topics might include: the ethics of generative AI, physics simulation using neural fields, bringing VR to the masses, customized clothing, autonomous vehicles, digital twins, digital design in the 21st century, etc.
The format of workshops is flexible and could include panels, presentations, and open discussions. Interactive content that blurs the line between attendee and contributor is strongly encouraged. We expect most workshops to be half day (3.5 hours), but would also like to pilot several shorter, 90-minute workshops, and could accommodate one or two full-day workshops.
