Initially created as an arm to the Vancouver ACM SIGGRAPH chapter, the Spark Computer Graphics (Spark CG) Society has organized all the SPARK conferences & festivals, starting with the inaugural SPARK FX '08 in January 2008 and the inaugural SPARK Animation '08 in September 2008. Since then, the Spark CG team has been working hard to promote and foster the local computer graphics community, holding sold-out events, attracting internationally renowned speakers, and keeping abreast of how to best serve this dynamic community.

In 2011, the Spark CG team helped build momentum to ensure the success of the SIGGRAPH 2011 conference in Vancouver. In late 2011, Spark CG separated from Vancouver ACM SIGGRAPH and now runs as its own separate entity to better serve the local community. As we move forward, the Spark CG team will continue to promote and foster the local computer graphics community by bringing more SPARK goodness to Vancouver. We'll also be working diligently to support the SIGGRAPH conference when it returns to Vancouver in 2014.
