Donor Recognition
SIGGRAPH 99 believes that it is important to thank corporate donors and to make attendees aware of the donors' support of the conference. All recognition offered by SIGGRAPH 99 is to acknowledge and thank donors and does not serve as reimbursement for support or as a trade for registration or access to the conference or specific programs or events in return for donations.
 
Organizations that loan equipment or donate cash and/or services to SIGGRAPH 99 or to its contributors, prior to or during the conference, are acknowledged as follows:
 
The name of the donating organization is printed as acknowledgement in the SIGGRAPH 99 Program and Buyer's Guide and on the donor recognition banner (which is hung prominently in the convention center).
 
Each donor receives a personalized thank-you letter from SIGGRAPH 99 after the conference.
 
Standard-sized signs, approved and produced by SIGGRAPH 99, may be displayed on donated equipment to acknowledge the use of equipment, at the discretion of the SIGGRAPH 99 Conference Chair.
 
Possible acknowledgement on the SIGGRAPH 99 Web site.
 

 
All of our deadlines between now and the conference are very tight. Please help us by communicating your needs and questions early.
 
Again, congratulations. We are looking forward to working with you to make the Courses program a success!
 
Sincerely,
