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 requests are reviewed and approved by the Conference Chair. Exceptions will be considered for reunion-type or industry non-profit groups for some requirements.

All BOF requests are subject to a review and approval process. Submissions are open now till 2 October 2022.

Acceptance or rejection notices will be sent to all submitters by Mid October 2022.

Topics specific to one commercial product of for-profit companies or corporations, recruitment, sales, specific product tutorials and company promotion are not allowed.

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

All BOFs are subject to review prior to approval based on the above criteria and can be cancelled by SIGGRAPH Asia if their description/intent changes.
