Siggraph always has some number of meeting rooms at the conference that are
available for sign-up on a first-come-first-serve basis. The last couple of
years have always had an Amiga gathering of some sort there. Usually no
"big-shots" show up, just a bunch of users doing really interesting things
with their machines... Whoever gets there first signs up for a room in one
of the time blocks. If you want good attendance, try to avoid getting times
during classes or the Technical Session, thus the late afternoon time blocks
go fast...

As far as a less formal get together outside of the conference, well if
you figure out how many people to expect there are tons of places to meet
and drink. Let me know and I might be able to set it up (reservations, etc).

Also, the Boston Computer Society Amiga Group may be planning a special meeting
in honor of Siggraph, much as some California group did in S.F (or was it
Anaheim?) that was quite a success, but I am not involved in that...
