MM Asia Steering Committee

The ACM Multimedia Asia (MM Asia) Steering Committee invites prospective parties to submit proposals to host and organize the third and fourth ACM Multimedia Asia conference in 2021 and 2022.

ACM recently recognised the class of 2019 Distinguished Members of the ACM for their outstanding contributions to the field, including 4 of the 62 who are SIGMM members. Congratulations to Susanne Boll, Oliver Brdiczka, Heng Tao Shen and Hari Sundaram.

The ACM SIGMM (Special Interest Group in Multimedia) provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in all aspects of multimedia computing, communication, storage, and applications. We do this through our sponsorship and organisation of conferences and workshops, supporting student travel to such events, discounted registrations, two regional chapters, recognition of excellence and achievement through an awards scheme and we inform the community of our activities through the SIGMM Records and through mailing lists.
