(Chicago, IL) –SIGGRAPH has traditionally provided the year's
largest, most comprehensive exhibition of products and services for
the computer graphics and interactive techniques marketplace. If
current sales trends continue, SIGGRAPH 2011 will be no
different.
SIGGRAPH 2011, 7-11 August, at the Vancouver
Convention Centre in Vancouver, Canada, is on pace or in some
instances exceeding the exhibition sales data at this point last
year for SIGGRAPH 2010 in Los Angeles. For instance, the current
number of exhibitors participating and amount of booth space sold
is higher this year than at this same point in time last year.
"Since this is the first time SIGGRAPH is being held in Canada,
we are encouraged by the positive response of our exhibitors from
North America and around the world," said Peter Braccio, SIGGRAPH
2011 Conference Chair from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research
Institute. "We are very encouraged by this vote of confidence from
the exhibitor community. This year's submissions are even more
encouraging. The volume and quality of papers, talks, courses,
artwork, films, and interactive demos submitted so far confirm that
this will be one of the most memorable SIGGRAPH conferences in
years."
