SIGGRAPH is the world’s premier conference and exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques, produced by ACM SIGGRAPH. The event draws 25,000+ attendees including computer scientists, VFX artists, game developers, real-time rendering engineers, and technology executives from studios, software companies, and academic institutions globally. The exhibition floor features hardware and software companies presenting the latest in GPU technology, rendering engines, virtual production tools, immersive media, and real-time graphics platforms. The show combines a rigorous academic conference with one of the technology industry’s most innovation-dense exhibit floors.
Quick Facts
Attendees include VFX artists and supervisors, game developers, computer science researchers, GPU and hardware engineers, film and TV technology executives, and real-time graphics professionals.
SIGGRAPH 2026 is held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with the exhibition floor in the South Hall and conference sessions distributed across the West Hall and meeting rooms.
SIGGRAPH 2026 highlights real-time graphics, generative AI in creative pipelines, and virtual production technology as key growth themes alongside core rendering and simulation categories.
Where SIGGRAPH Takes Place
SIGGRAPH 2026 is held at the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) in downtown Los Angeles. The convention center sits adjacent to Crypto.com Arena and the LA Live entertainment complex, with the exhibition floor in the South Hall and conference programming distributed across West Hall meeting rooms and ballrooms. The venue is served by the Metro E Line (Expo) at the Pico station, directly connecting downtown LA and Santa Monica to the convention center. Rideshare drop-off is available on Pico Boulevard and Figueroa Street on the venue’s perimeter.
Navigation Tips
SIGGRAPH’s conference and exhibition are spread across LACC’s South and West halls — if your booth is in South Hall, confirm that staff know to use the South Hall entrance off Figueroa rather than the West Hall lobby. Badge pickup lines move quickly at SIGGRAPH compared to larger shows but Day 1 morning still has a 15–20 minute wait at peak. The convention center is within walking distance of a large downtown LA hotel cluster, so most attendees and staff can access the show without rideshare.
Why Los Angeles-Based Booth Staff Matter for SIGGRAPH
SIGGRAPH’s audience is technically sophisticated and design-oriented — they evaluate booth staff the same way they evaluate the software on display. A presenter who can speak fluently about rendering pipelines, GPU architectures, or generative AI workflows will hold an audience that a generic brand ambassador cannot. Los Angeles is a deep talent market for entertainment technology, VFX, and creative tech professionals, and TSM’s LA roster reflects that — staff with backgrounds in entertainment production, design, and digital media who can engage SIGGRAPH’s audience on its own terms. Local staff eliminate travel costs on a five-day show and are available for early-morning exhibitor orientations and late-evening networking receptions that are standard at SIGGRAPH.
Exhibiting Tips for SIGGRAPH 2026
SIGGRAPH exhibitors compete for the attention of an audience that’s seen everything and can evaluate technical claims on sight — hype-driven messaging underperforms here; demo-driven, technically honest presentations win. Keep your demonstration equipment running and visible from the aisle; a dark demo station at a graphics show signals nothing good. Lead retrieval at SIGGRAPH benefits from capturing technical role and project type alongside contact data — a rendering engineer sourcing tools has different follow-up needs than an IT director evaluating enterprise software. Plan for the five-day schedule by rotating staff positioning and staying sharp on the final days when attendance is lower but buyer quality often peaks. If you’re showing real-time technology, interactive demos where attendees participate — not just watch — consistently outperform passive screen presentations.

Why Our Clients & Models Trust Us

I had to take the time to post this review. Simply stated, the TSM Agency is the best model staffing agency we have ever worked with. Our account executive, Caryn, was prompt and professional. We only had two days to staff two models. We came to an agreement and had our models in the same day I initially contacted them.

The TSM Agency is our go to model staffing company. Our account executive is so easy to work with and knows the industry inside and out. But what really separates TSM from the other companies we have worked with in the past are their models. TSM Agency trade show models are just the best. When you talk to the girls you can tell TSM treats them well and that they are very loyal to the agency. The girls always come prepared and on time. They are a joy to work with and their smiles are infectious! I can’t say enough. It makes me very happy to see our competitors enviously looking at us because our trade show models are doing such a great job and our booth is always packed.

Keila and Kirsten were exactly what we were looking for from our trade show models. For our previous show we flew a couple of employees to work the show and, no offense to them, we will never do that again. Professional models were far better at generating leads for us; the entire reason we did this event is Las Vegas. Our models were well prepared, dressed professionally, kept up an amazing energy during every day of the show and help us demo our products. Caryn, our TSM Agency account executive, did an amazing job and provided the perfect models.

Thank you TSM Agency! We have never received so many leads as we did this year at the World of Concrete Show. Our models were great and we want to staff the same girls next year. They performed above and beyond our expectations. Thank you TSM!
