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.

Two jam-packed sessions were recently held at a local studio in Vancouver, BC, exploring virtual workstations for VFX and graphics-intensive workloads using Amazon Web Services (AWS). This was a jointly-hosted workshop between the Thinkbox team at AWS, Teradici, and Sohonet and was solely dedicated to IT decision makers in M&E.
