We are joining the 2020 line-up with a series of talks, technical papers, and courses covering our latest technical and artistic achievements on a range of topics, including rendering, simulation, and machine learning.
It's been a challenging year, and we are more excited than ever for the opportunity to connect with the industry through SIGGRAPH’s virtual event. The programme includes both on-demand presentations, available online between the 17-27th of August, and scheduled sessions that take place from the 24-28th August. Keep scrolling to see our schedule, and to find out how and when you can catch our sessions.
