Web3D Conferences have been an annual event since 1995. In the early years they were called VRML Symposia.  Web3D Conferences are sponsored by  ACM SIGGRAPH  in co-operation with Web3D Consortium. The purpose of the Conference is to study and share the principles of the latest advancements in interactive 3D technologies. The conference brings together experts from around the world to discuss the latest research, development, and practices related to these technologies. 

Having an industry and academic focus for understanding challenges and achievements has led to strong steady growth in capabilities for 3D graphics on the World Wide Web. If you would like to Influence Web3D technology of the future, consider hosting a Web3D Conference.
