It was a rare treat to have the SIGGRAPH conference take place in our own backyard here in Vancouver and experience locally, the celebration of all-things CG, animation, virtual reality, games, and much, much more. SIGGRAPH started up in 1973 as a result of growing interest in the graphics discipline and has since evolved into a globally recognized event that attracted 16K+ attendees this past August.
