Frontiers spark conversations in emerging, multi-disciplinary topics, exploring exciting opportunities and breakthroughs that will shape the future of computer graphics and interactive techniques. Join a vibrant community bridging disciplines to transform technology’s impact on society and inspire lasting innovation.
Welcome to SIGGRAPH 2026
Submit to Frontiers
The Frontiers program is a forum to introduce new ideas, promote conversation to articulate new research questions, incubate innovative collaborations, and jumpstart new communities around these exciting ideas. Engage with Frontiers to explore exciting visions of tomorrow. This includes studying early-stage emerging topics with implications that may radically change our world of graphics and interactive techniques and the relationship between humanity and technology.
The Frontiers program consists of talks and workshops by visionaries, futurists, and thought leaders in a wide variety of fields that intersect, interact, and interfere with our notions of computer graphics and interactive techniques. Frontiers Talks are intended to inspire and provoke; to provide exciting new thoughts, ideas, and unexpected connections across disciplines. Frontiers Workshops offer hands-on experiences to foster radical collaborations with engaging, deep-dive explorations of emerging, interdisciplinary topics led by great minds within and without the SIGGRAPH community. Workshops engage the audience to be not just passive participants but active co-creators of the future.
Frontiers topics vary greatly — but all have the broad goal of articulating important new questions and shaping new ways of thinking about new problems. The most compelling talks and workshops are inspiring and engaging sessions led by leading researchers; either established graphics community researchers partnering with visionaries and researchers in adjacent fields, or leaders in those fields themselves, where there is exciting potential for joint work and creating new communities. The Frontiers sessions seek to provide a forum to explore fundamental questions, challenges, and directions of emerging research areas.
We welcome a conversation around your nascent ideas. Please submit a rough proposal to explore possibilities with the SIGGRAPH 2026 Frontiers team at Frontiers-s2026@siggraph.org. Revisions will be recommended after review. Your session plan should be designed to encourage deep-dive conversations organized and led by an expert (talk), or a panel of experts (workshop) from multiple fields or problem domains. For convenience, you may opt to include session ideas as a file upload for initial submission. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the program is at capacity. We strongly encourage you to submit early. The submission system will close on Frontiers proposal deadline:Tuesday, 7 April, 22:00 UTC/GMT. Final materials must be submitted and speakers confirmed by Tuesday, 28 April 2026.
