Is it worth it to spend a lot of money just for the opportunity to talk to recruiters in person?
I'm thinking about going to Siggraph, a conference about computer graphics, and talking to recruiters on the job fair section of the exhibit. Unfortunately, I'm all the way on the East Coast and the conference is in Denver, CO. I might have to spend $800+ just for a chance to talk to recruiters in person because I just… -

I'd only go if it's worth $800 to visit and not talk to recruiters. Apart from anything else Siggraph is focused on engineering - the recruiters aren't there to hire artists, they're looking for graphics programmers. -

if you already have an idea where you want to work, then somebody familiar with that studio or similar might be able to give a solid answer whether or not your current portfolio is in the ballpark of being hirable or not.
