Pioneers
Members of this networking, mentorship, advisory, and philanthropic group are passionate advocates of computer graphics and interactive techniques who share their opinions with the ACM SIGGRAPH Executive Committee and conference committees to help shape the future of the organization. Twenty years of experience in some aspect of computer graphics or interactive techniques is required for Pioneer membership. There is an additional dues cost, which goes toward our annual Pioneers Reception at the conference, where we can catch up with old friends and hear a presentation from a Featured Speaker recognized for their lifelong contributions to the industry. In 2021 we began a series of year-round panels, presenting experts on topics of historical significance to the development of CGI. Those videos can be found on the SIGGRAPH YouTube Channel.

Conference Advisory Group
The Conference Advisory Group (CAG) is a volunteer-led group which provides multi-year policy and procedural oversight for all conference planning. This team develops and maintains policies that affect the SIGGRAPH conference, helps prepare the conference budget, recruits, and onboards new conference chairs and CAG chairs, researches and recommends locations for future years of the conference, conducts program reviews, RFPs for conference contacts, and more. This group also collaborates with the Executive Committee (EC) and strategy groups to help identify the organization's goals and structure the conference in support of those goals and meeting the needs of our community.
The CAG consists of the CAG Chair, all current conference chairs (usually the current year, the next year, and two years out), at least one and up to two members of the ACM SIGGRAPH EC as representatives to the CAG, up to two external representatives. The ACM liaison to ACM SIGGRAPH and several conference management contract-leads also participate in a non-voting capacity.
