SIGGRAPH 2008

I registered for SIGGRAPH 2008 this morning. This year it will be in Los Angeles August 11-15.
Registration opened yesterday. Register before July 4th for the best rates. Become a SIGGRAPH member and save $50.
One notable difference this year: no Electronic Theater viewing day selection in the registration. I actually can't find any mention of the ET. The closest was this quote about Computer Animation Festival changes:
Computer Animation Festival
For SIGGRAPH 2008, the festival has adopted a new format. Each day of the conference, it presents competition screenings, showcase screenings, and panel discussions with filmmakers, instructors, and artists involved in the creative process. The traditional Animation Theaters will not be available for SIGGRAPH 2008.
I hope this doesn't signal an end to the ET...it is one of my favorite parts of SIGGRAPH.
Sounds like several things have changed (or at least changed names).
Here's a list of future SIGGRAPH's...
| Year | Location |
| 2008 | Los Angeles |
| 2009 | New Orleans |
| 2010 | Los Angeles |
| 2011 | Vancouver (first time held outside of the US) |
This will be my 12th SIGGRAPH in a row! It never gets old!

Oddly enough the academic conference (AOM) I've gone to for the last three years is being held this year in LA from August 8th to the 13th. If I do end up going, I will likely fly out on the 8th and return the 11th. I will give you a holler as I know more.
