Sketches were a tremendous success this year. Attendance was up by about 100 percent over last year, a sure sign that sketches are coming of age and becoming part of the mainstream in the annual SIGGRAPH conference. Technical Sketches meshed very nicely with the Papers session. For maximum impact, many complementary Sketches sessions were scheduled immediately before the corresponding Papers session. These events typically had between 100 and 200 attendees, with very informal and lively audience-speaker interaction. Don't miss the Sketches innovation for SIGGRAPH 96: extended abstracts of published Sketches, in the Visual Proceedings. David Ebert, SIGGRAPH 97 Sketches Chair, aims to double submissions and attendance. Remember: Sketches are designed to be inclusive, so please submit one or more to SIGGRAPH 97! Acceptance rates are much higher than in other SIGGRAPH programs. Ken Musgrave SIGGRAPH 96 Sketches Chair Technical Sketches Committee | SIGGRAPH 97 Call for Participation - Sketches
