Registration will go up in a few weeks for I3D 2020<\/a>, May 5-7, at the ILM Theater<\/a>, The Presidio, San Francisco. Before then, here a few things you should know and take advantage of.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 update:<\/em> At this point I3D 2020 is proceeding on schedule for May 5-7. We continue to watch the situation and expect to make a final determination in early April. The advance program, registration, and more details will be available soon. Before then we recommend booking refundable elements, such as your hotel room.<\/p>\n

First, are you a student?<\/strong> For the first time, we have a travel grant program<\/a><\/strong> in place, due to strong support from sponsors<\/a> this year. The main thing you need is a PDF of a letter from your advisor. If your department cannot fully support the cost of your attendance, you should apply for it. Deadline is March 1. Deadline’s passed.<\/em><\/p>\n

Next, the posters deadline is March 13th<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Third, and important to all, reserve your lodging now. Really.<\/strong> The reason is that lodging might get tight; I noticed that IBM’s Think conference<\/a>, at Moscone Center, is the same week. In the past, over 30,000 people attended that event. We are currently looking into a hotel discount, but that seems unlikely for the Marina District. If we do get one, you can always switch.<\/p>\n

Here’s a search for lodging<\/a><\/strong>, using Kayak, which gave the most options of the searchers I tried. You’ll want to zoom into the Presidio area (shame on Kayak for not recording my current map view), shown below, if you want to be able to walk to the conference. I capped this search at $308\/day – change that value and the dates at the top of that search page as you wish. Pay attention to cancellation details. If you are sharing lodging with a few people, move that cost slider up, as there are some property rentals for larger groups.<\/p>\n

Other area searches: AirBNB<\/a><\/strong> and TripAdvisor<\/strong><\/a>. Me, I’m at the Days Inn – Lombard<\/a>. It’s a bed, which is all I need, it’s on NVIDIA’s approved lodging list, and it’s a 15 minute walk to the Yoda Fountain<\/a>. You want something a little nicer and much closer? This Travelodge<\/a> is a 4 minute walk from the fountain (the $272 on the left):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you want to take a look down Lombard and scope it out, starting at the gate to the Presidio at Lyon Street, click here<\/a>. If you’d like to see too many photos of the I3D 2020 venue (spoiler alert!), you can see my fact-finding album<\/a>, with a mix of beautiful<\/a> and boring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The number of submissions for I3D this year continues to be high:<\/p>\n

Total reviewed submissions: 60
\nConference paper acceptance: 17
\nPACM journal acceptance: 9
\nAcceptance rate: 43%<\/p>\n

The schedule will also be up soon. In the meantime, our keynote speakers<\/a> will be great, with one more speaker from Unreal<\/a> to be announced.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
