Q LTD has been selected to design and produce all the marketing materials for the first SIGGRAPH conference in Asia. For SIGGRAPH Asia 2008, Q LTD will create the conference visual identity, the web site, international advertising (print and web), printed programs, merchandise, and signage.

SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 is scheduled for December 10-13, 2008, at the Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Centre, in Singapore. As with its North American conference, in Asia, SIGGRAPH, the computer graphics industry's most respected technical and creative organization, will focus on research, science, art, animation, gaming, interactivity, education, and the Web.

"SIGGRAPH supports the world's leading computer graphics professionals and, with SIGGRAPH Asia, an emerging market where those professionals are working, creating and innovating," said Tom Rieke, president, Q LTD. "This opportunity to work with SIGGRAPH's new conference venture in Asia extends Q's emphasis on creating world-class design for international markets. Our partnership with SIGGRAPH, which is widely-recognized for its leadership in graphics and interactive arts, affirms Q LTD's ability to deliver innovative and evocative results for clients, and supports the company's international growth strategy."

Since the early 1990s, Q LTD has created the visual identity and marketing materials for the SIGGRAPH conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques, which is held in a different city in North America each year. The North American conference attracts 25,000 - 30,000 attendees from around the world; attendance at the first SIGGRAPH Asia conference is expected to be about 4,000.

"We are really pleased to extend our long-standing collaboration with Q LTD to SIGGRAPH Asia," said Alyn Rockwood, vice president of SIGGRAPH and chair of the SIGGRAPH Asia Conference Advisory Group. "This is a significant new venture and challenge for the SIGGRAPH organization. Our past experience, confidence, and strong relationship with Q helps ensure its success."

ACM SIGGRAPH, the organization that presents the SIGGRAPH conferences, serves its more than 8,000 members and the entire computer graphics and interactive techniques community by promoting and supporting the innovation and application of computer graphics and interactive techniques.
