Speaker Preparation

Welcome!

Thank you for participating in SIGGRAPH 2021. We understand that this conference cycle has presented some unusual circumstances, but the mission of SIGGRAPH remains the same – to deliver cutting-edge, compelling content to the computer graphics and interactive techniques communities.

Presentation Guidelines

A key element of your SIGGRAPH 2021 presentation is your electronic slide preparation. The audience will base its evaluation of you and your subject matter partly on the appearance of your images. An attractive, legible, and organized presentation will reflect positively on the content, and therefore on you.

SIGGRAPH strongly recommends that you show yourself in the video using instructions provided in the power point document below. Showing your face throughout the presentation will be more engaging for attendees. Make sure your self-view is visible as attendees need to see both a view of your presentation and a view of you as a speaker.

Please review the Video Recording Recommendations and Step-by-Step Session Recording Guidance below to ensure your SIGGRAPH 2021 presentation is the best it can possibly be.

New for 2021 – Closed Caption:
All video presentations for SIGGRAPH 2021 must include closed captioning. If you are providing your own captioning, note the requirement to provide an mp4 video file AND an approved caption WebVTT or SRT file.

Send your questions or concerns to your program chair by filling out the contact form found at the bottom of this and most pages.
