"There are a myriad of good reasons why we love to attend the yearly SIGGRAPH conference. Whether you are there to be inspired by the insights of keynote speakers such as Jim Morris of Disney-Pixar, delve into the Job Fair, boost your skill set with a few Courses, test-drive some new tools at The Studio, expand your professional network at the Birds of a Feather events, enjoy watching new animations from around the world at the Festival Screenings, rub elbows with the experts at the moderated discussion Panels, ask questions from the authors of the informative Art Papers, feed your senses at the Art Gallery, explore the new products and services on the Exhibition show floor, or just enjoy the excuse to mill about with like-minded folks at the beautiful Los Angeles Convention Center, your SIGGRAPH experience would not be complete without a visit to the Emerging Technologies arena."
