When: Thursday, September 17, 2009 from 6:30pm to 9pm

Where: BAE Systems, 8201 Greensboro Drive, Suite 1200, McLean, VA22102

DC_SIGGRAPH had a wonderful “SIGGRAPH De-Brief and Schwag Exchange” meeting, but many of you expressed regret that you didn’t get to see ALL the photos (Roberto had hundreds!). So as a pre-meeting event, we’ll present a slide show of “all” the conference photos (with minor editing to fit in the time allotted.). So come early to see the slide show – the slide show starts at 6:30!

At 7pm, DC_SIGGRAPH will show the SIGGRAPH 2009 Computer Animation Festival (part 1). The SIGGRAPH Video Reviews showcase some of the year’s most dazzling and innovative collection of submitted works selected by a distinguished jury of computer graphics experts and specialists.

For those of you who are interested, the conversations can continue at the hotel next door.

Please RSVP to dc_siggraph@mail.com so we can plan for refreshments.

Hope to see you there!
