SIGGRAPH 2006 Ideas

I'm interested in hearing from the CG community about potential new programs or program areas that might be included in the 2006 Conference Committee. You can comment here or email chair-s2006@siggraph.org. Also, stop by the get involved Wednesday afternoon of the conference week and talk to me, John Finnegan, about being a part of the conference in 2006. Also, we will be locating the conference in Boston, MA for that year!

SIGGRAPH Conference Contributor Recognition Forum

There will be a SIGGRAPH Conference Contributor Recognition Forum held on Tuesday, August 10 from 1:00-1:45pm in the Los Angeles Convention Center Room 502A. The purpose of this forum will be to discuss possible changes in the current CAG Contributor Recognition (CR) policy. The CR policy governs what conference contributors, i.e. speakers in Papers, Panels, Courses, Sketches, etc. receive for their contribution as well as the CR that volunteers receive.
