Strategic Plan

Report from the Jackson Hole Strategic Planning Meeting. (May 2001)

Summary: The key themes that emerged were globalization, personalization, and community throughout the year. The key to realizing these ambitions is an expansion of siggraph.org to the "hub" which will be the premier place for technical content, professional community, educational material, and political/policy advocacy for our profession and industry. This must be, not only a place to obtain information, but a place to share information and to build a personalized community. The real value of ACM SIGGRAPH is the community. We recommend that ACM SIGGRAPH’s long-term direction be focused specifically on building, strengthening and celebrating all aspects of that community. We should endeavor to better understand what makes our special community grow and prosper, and we should measure every new initiative against the standard “is this good for our community?”

Because of the interest shown in Singapore, during the outreach visit to Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, the next delegation should visit South East Asia. Areas under discussion for the future are South America and the India sub-continent. (May 3-4, 2002)
