I am replying to give the other side of this. I attended siggraph
and had a very good as well as imformative week. I went to the
courses and the technical sessions and I can't believe that
people involved in the graphics industry did not appreciate the
depth and uniquness of some of these presentations. The point being
that Siggraph is for the *graphics* industry and they are the ones who
get their money's worth. It is not an Art forum except as an aside and
I at least found the Film and Video show interesting and educational.
The exhibitions were  the same as anywhere. You pay your money and you
let the salesman pitch his wares. Only a few of these were interesting
as is the case at all shows.
