I was delighted to be able to arrange and join a meeting on the Presidents of IFIP and the ACM this week at SIGGRAPH Asia 2023 here in my hometown of Sydney Australia.

The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) represents IT Societies from 56 countries/regions, covering five continents with a total membership of over half a million and the Association of Computing (ACM) is the world’s largest scientific and educational computing society with over 110,000 members.

Thanks to ACM SIGGRAPH for hosting this meeting and to Yannis Ioannidis and Anthony Wong for taking the time to meet to discuss the future of computing.

I look forward to seeing many people at ACM SIGCHI CHI 2024 next year.
