Like it says. Hotel reservations for SIGGRAPH 2023 are now open: https://s2023.siggraph.org/travel-accommodations/ – from what I see, you can cancel cost-free up to the end of July. So, if there’s any chance you’ll go, lock it in now. To save you a click, SIGGRAPH is August 6-10 in Los Angeles.

It’s SIGGRAPH’s 50th year, so I expect a fair bit of retrospective stuff. In fact, the Electronic Theater is accepting such material until May 1st, so if you’re of an age, dust off those VCR tapes for submission.

I3D 2023 is back to being in-person, first time since 2019. May 3-5, hosted at the Unity office in Bellevue, WA, USA.

The last in-person I3D was in 2019. I helped chair the conference on-line in 2020 and 2021, and 2022 was also remote. We survived, good work got published, but half the joy of any conference is meeting with people, new and old.

The nice thing about on-line conferences is that they cost just about nothing. Which means all the money we raised from sponsors in 2019 and later is available for this year’s conference. Almost all sponsors generously rolled over their donations each year for the time when the conference would again be in person. That time is now! I don’t know, but suspect there should be a fair number of new people attending this year, as there was money in 2020 (before COVID hit) for student travel grants and outreach programs.
