SIG
Focused interest club
SIG is an abbreviation for special interest group—an organization of people united by a shared concern, hobby, or profession.
In computing and tech communities, SIGs focus on specific topics: the ACM has SIGs for artificial intelligence, graphics, and databases.
In politics, SIGs often lobby for particular causes or industries.
