Siggraph Question 2004-07-01 - By Roman Ormandy
Back
I will only answer the first question:) extra $170 for Select is probably
not worth it.

Yes...it is that time of year again when we all ask "Are you going to
Siggraph this year?".
Well, as luck would have it, business puts me in San Jose on 8/9 and the
conference runs from 8/8 to 8/12. So for some minimal cash, I can make it
down there to actually see what it is all about.
But before I decide, I was hoping to get some advice from anyone who has
gone before. Given that I will probably be able to be at the conference
only on 8/10, 8/11 and 8/12, I am looking for a recommendation to either
register for the "Conference Select" programs ($220) or just the
"Exhibitor's Plus" ($50). The difference between the two is that the
Conference Select program allows you into the Electronic Theater (Matinee
only) and a bunch of short talks in the Sketches section (some of which is
behind the scene work from Shrek, The Matrix, Van Helsing, etc.).
You also get a CD with the Conference Select program.
So is it worth the extra $170?
Is Siggraph even worth attending at all?
Thanks,
Dave Angelini
