Since SIGGRAPH 2011 broke Vancouver’s previous all-time conference attendance records, SIGGRAPH 2014 will return to the Canadian city for the 41st International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, 10-14 August 2014.

Shreiner has been an active member in the SIGGRAPH community for the past 25 years as a presenter and volunteer (SIGGRAPH 2006 Courses Chair and SIGGRAPH 2009 Director of Knowledge Transfer).
“We are thrilled to be returning to these cities and it is a testament to their popularity both with our attendees and exhibitors,” said Joe Marks, SIGGRAPH Conference Advisory Group Chair from Disney Research at The Walt Disney Company. “The fact that we are returning to Canada is a direct reflection of its strong and growing computer graphics community.”
