SIGGRAPH Asia 2016
Ask anyone who's ever attended, and they'll tell you that SIGGRAPH Asia is an experience unto itself. This year's conference will be held at the opulent Venetian Resort Hotel in Macao, China, from December 5 to 8. The conference is expected to draw more than 6,000 industry professionals from 50+ countries - and will feature, among other things, a cutting-edge VR showcase, hands-on workshops, eye-opening emerging technologies and a seminar for education professionals. Experience it for yourself.
