  3. I recommend August SIGGRAPH for this kind of stuff by peter303 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The annual SIGGRAPH meeting is in 24 days August 11-15 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Its the premiere event for seeing how entertainment graphics is done (great parties too). It can be attended very economically too: day passes are in the $50 range. One day-pass lets you see most of the technical exhibit and a different the film animation. The $800 pass is for attending the technical papers and courses (buy the proceedings) which good if you have all week and a generous boss. I'm flying in one morning, attending two days, leaving the following evening. There is light rail direct from LAX to the conventions center (slow). To me its like a science-fiction convention turned live- with all the futuristic computer graphics hardware and software (and great parties too).
