Alain Chesnais, President of ACM SIGGRAPH, visits the Montreal ACM SIGGRAPH chapter.
The next ACM SIGGRAPH Executive Committee meeting is May 2-4, 2003, in Montreal. During this visit, Alain Chesnais will give us some insight into how an organization as huge and as successful as SIGGRAPH manages to be run entirely by volunteers. He will also present some of the less well-known programs and activities associated with SIGGRAPH, and give us a sneak preview of where things are heading over the next few years.
