Seven things for July 30, 2020

Well, I have about 59 things, but here are the LIFO bits:

Cancel your SIGGRAPH hotel; attend EGSR, HPG, and I3D 2020 virtually, free

SIGGRAPH: don’t forget to cancel your hotel reservation if you have one. Physical SIGGRAPH is gone this year, but your reservation lives on – I just noticed mine was still in the system. If your reservation is like mine, you’ll want to cancel by July 6th or pay a night’s fee penalty. SIGGRAPH is of course virtual this year. August 24-28 is the week scheduled – beyond this, I do not know.

EGSR: It’s happening this week. I should have posted this a few days ago, but it’s all on YouTube, so you haven’t actually missed anything.

The 31st Eurographics Symposium on Rendering will be all virtual and free to attend this year: watch it here. Talks can be watched live or afterwards on YouTube. Full conference program: https://egsr2020.london/program/

Registration is optional, but gets to access to the chat system where you can ask authors questions: https://egsr2020.london/. There’s also two virtual mixers, Wednesday and Thursday: https://egsr2020.london/social-mixers/ – now to determine what 12:00 UTC is… (ah, I think that’s 8 AM U.S. Eastern Time).

HPG 2020: The High-Performance Graphics conference will happen virtually July 13-16. It is free, though there is a nominal fee if you want to attend the interactive Q&A sessions.

I3D 2020: The Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and Games is virtual and free to all this year. Dates are September 14-18. Details will be posted here as they become available.

As usual, publications and their related resources for these conferences are added by Ke-Sen Huang to his wonderful pages tracking them.

I’ll update this post as I learn more.
