SUMMARY:SIGGRAPH 2025 Recap Roundtable online
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n \nEvery year at the Siggraph convention\, the VES brings a great contingent into town\, and a great community to share and socialize with. But not everyone (not even most of us!) get to go to the show. That’s why we do a roundtable online to bring attendees together with our members who want to hear about what happened\, what went down\, and what was up this year. \nIt’s a chance to get a glimpse of what the conference had to offer\, hear about trending tech topics\, and ask questions about what’s making an impression across the computer graphics industry. \nThe format will be a 1-hour Zoom session with speakers sharing their observations\, in a roundtable setting for conversations and multiple perspectives. \nMonday\, September 22nd\n6:30pm PDT  \nThis will NOT be recorded\, so we hope to see you there\, LIVE! \nNo need to RSVP\, just join the call with this link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meetings/81898450909/ \nIf you have topics you would like to see addressed\, please send an email in advance to the evening’s moderator: \nJeff A. Johnson\, Chair\, Bay Area Board of Managers\nbayareaschair@vesglobal.org
