Digital Domain at Siggraph 2008

Digital Domain is again going to be at Siggraph, this year here in Los Angeles. From August 11th to the 15th, it's slightly different from last year, as it is a Monday through Friday event, instead of a Sunday through Thursday one. Some big events which I've heard about include the Darker/Lighter party, the Autodesk one, and the Nuke usergroup meeting on Monday. Any other big events happening that might be pertinent to visual effects that you guys know about?

DD's got some cool presentations scheduled, from Speed Racer and The Mummy, to some commercial spots. We're also in a pretty good spot on the show floor, immediate in front of one of the main entrances! Here's the direct link to the Siggraph exhibit layout. Or you can click on the image to the left to see a small portion of the floor and where we will be located. The current times for the exhibit are:

Tuesday, 12 August	9:30 am - 6 pm
Wednesday, 13 August	9:30 am - 6 pm
Thursday, 14 August	9:30 am - 3:30 pm

I'll be at the Siggraph booth on behalf of DD for all three exhibit days, that I know of. Come on by! Tippett Studio will also be at the show, be sure to check them out too! They will be near Laika, Lucasfilm Limited and AMD. Blue Sky will be just behind us, and Imageworks will be at the other main entrance location. Next years Siggraph will be in New Orleans again. The following Siggraphs will be; in 2010 Los Angeles, in 2011 Vancouver. Not only that, for the first time this year, a dual Siggraph will happen in Singapore in December! I don't know if any of the vfx houses here will attend, but that is sure to be interesting for our Asian brethren.
