Hi all, I am going to present my work at the IEEE Vis conference in October in Columbus, as the paper on the application for virtual endoscopy was accepted and will be published in their journal. After a week of conference I will have like a weekend left before flying home. Now I know Columbus is not THE city ;) but…
I'd put together a day to day plan of what you'd like to do. The maps are found here so you can also familiarize yourself with where things are and spend less time trying to figure out how to get from place to place. Last year I spent the entire time in the career pavilion and had a set of studios I'd go to each day, but…
Ha, I wanted to ask the same question (you beat me to it). A co-worker (programmer)and myseld are thinking about attending Siggraph. It is a big undertaking though, since we both live in the Netherland. What I am wondering: Should we buy the select conference pass ($380) or the full conference pass ($1145)?

Also a half-hearted troll to get vermillion to condemn me for bringing politics into a nonpolitical thread. But now it'll never happen! You…
It pains me to say it but I won't be able to attend the conference. I just don't have the money right now. there are only a few instances where I found summits/tutorials useful. The Main conference mostly has some of the more interesting sessions. If you don't have a job I would also make sure to get a pass for the career…
A quickie reminder and perhaps first notice for some of you, that the annual GDC in San Francisco is coming up fairly soon in the first week of next March. They have been sending out updates on the content of the conference finally with this one being the latest. So if you've been sitting on the fence waiting to see what…
Do a search for SIGGRAPH; it's /the/ gfx conference where all the latest algorythms get press, including the acedemic-won't-be-included-in-games-in-years plus the will-be-included-in-the-next-gen-engines tech debuts. You gotta pay for the conference notes from the siggraph site, but I guess any site which at least mentions…
