One out of five attendees of the annual SIGGRAPH conference is from outside the United States. Each year, the conference receives contributions and visitors from over 72 countries. It is the meeting point for the international computer graphics community.   The International Committee exists to help you participate in this community. Our mission is to enhance international participation at the annual conference. To achieve this mission, four fundamental activities are carried out in strong collaboration with other SIGGRAPH conference committees and the SIGGRAPH local chapters around the world: To assist international contributors prior to and during the conference. To assist international attendees prior to and during the conference. To promote SIGGRAPH worldwide. To promote international interactions at the conference. To become a member of the International Committee, contact the International Chair and request an application. During the conference, the applications are available in the International Center, and they are always available online.   If you are a computer graphics professional, or amateur, and live outside the United States, please don't hesitate to contact us or one of our committee members who speaks your language. We will be glad to assist you with your SIGGRAPH participation.
