Submission Deadline: 15 August 2022, 23:59 AoE (Submissions are now closed)

Following suit with SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia prioritizes conversations and industry contributions that spotlight how diversity makes our communities, industries, and teams stronger. Events in the DEI program provides a safe place to grow, discuss, and learn from one another and to bridge boundaries with the goal of making our community more inclusive and accessible to all.

The ACM SIGGRAPH Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee encourages submissions that spotlight DEI across every SIGGRAPH program.

General Information:

The ACM SIGGRAPH DEI Committee is also directly accepting submissions that support advancements in diversity, equity, and inclusion in computer graphics and interactive techniques.

Our committee will review submissions inclusive of SIGGRAPH’s broad range of content — from DEI Talks, speaker proposals, animations, Courses, BOFs, or Panels! Unless your submission is primarily targeted for a different call for proposals, our call for submissions is designed to create a program of content that reflects the diversity of our community. Surprise us, incite us — our call is open to any type of content. We embrace a neuro-diverse and inclusive approach to content.

We would love to see submissions addressing but not limited to:

  • Disability and accessibility
  • DEI technology
  • Employee activism
  • Employee resource groups
  • DEI in education
  • Global diversity practices
  • Legal agreements
  • Mental health in the workplace
  • Mentorship and sponsorship
  • Pay equity/pay equality
  • LGBTQIA+
  • Recruitment, retention, advancement
  • Resources for underrepresented groups
  • Long-term structural change for inclusive work environments
  • Allyship: how to be an ally

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

Content will be presented at SIGGRAPH Asia 2022 in Daegu, South Korea.

Tag your submission #DEI if your work spotlights issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion — regardless of the category or type of content you are submitting. #DEI

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

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.
