History

The GRAPHITE Conference series was initiated as a result of a visit to Australia, New Zealand and Singapore during March and April 2002 by an ACM SIGGRAPH delegation and the enthusiastic response they received. The delegation included the President and Vice President of ACM SIGGRAPH, along with other key individuals representing ACM and EUROGRAPHICS. A full report on their visit can be found on the SIGGRAPH web site or here.

The first GRAPHTIE was held in Melbourne in 2003, the second in Singapore in 2004, the third in Dunedin in 2005 and the forth in Kuala Lumpur in 2006.
