Siggraph Question 2004-07-01 - By Dave Angelini
Back
Roman,
Thanks....as I search the Siggraph site, I am beginning to agree with
you.
But the fact that you would only answer the first question gives me a
strong clue as to how you would answer the second question.
So let me put it this way....between hotel, conference fee, car rental,
food and air travel between San Jose and LA, I am still looking at
spending around $500 for even attending Siggraph (exhibitors only).
Is Siggraph worth $500?
Thanks,
Dave Angelini

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
