Executive Summary
What is ACM SIGGRAPH?
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is a US based international learned society for computing. ACM is organized into over 170 local chapters and 35 Special Interest Groups (SIGs), through which it conducts most of its activities, (ex. SIGGRAPH).
ACM SIGGRAPH is the New York–based Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH). SIGGRAPH holds yearly conferences in the United States/Canada and just recently Asia. With thousands in attendance each year, along with chapters all over the world, SIGGRAPH is considered to be the largest computer graphics organization on the planet.

Organizational Summary
What are SIGGRAPH Professional Chapters about?
ACM SIGGRAPH Professional Chapters are non-profit year-round groups that bring new inspiration and innovation to the ACM SIGGRAPH organization. Professional Chapters share knowledge with other chapters (both student and professional), provide industry and mentor connections, and promote collaboration with the international ACM SIGGRAPH community.
SIGGRAPH Asia
There are currently 6 ACM SIGGRAPH Professional Chapters in the SIGGRAPH ASIA Region. Establishing SIGGRAPH Manila as lucky #7 will allow the Philippines to host a SIGGRAPH Asia Conference in the near future, and would be a huge milestone for the computer graphics community in the Philippines.
What Events will SIGGRAPH Manila be hosting?
SIGGRAPH Manila is currently working on the planning of several event venues to appeal to the computer graphics community. There will also be surveys handed out at the hosted events, in order to get feedback on what type of venues the community would like the SIGGRAPH Manila Chapter to host in the future.
SIGGRAPH Manila will be hosting the following type of events:
Workshops on various software packages.
Workshops on various hardware components/peripherals.
Behind the scenes Pipeline Shot Breakdowns of V-FX scenes
