The Evolution Starts Now:
SIGGRAPH 2008 Invites You to ParticipateGeneral Submission Deadline: 30 January 2008
You are invited to contribute to or volunteer for SIGGRAPH 2008, the 35th International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, Monday - Friday, 11 - 15 August 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California.
New for SIGGRAPH 2008
SIGGRAPH 2008 is evolving along with the computer graphics and interactive techniques community. It is dissolving the borders between some traditional SIGGRAPH programs (Art Gallery, Courses, Educators, Emerging Technologies, Panels, Posters, The Studio, Sketches) to create a more fluid, interdisciplinary conference. And it is offering presenters more flexible options for sharing their work. SIGGRAPH is also upgrading the value of the Computer Animation Festival.
