    Simple solution: leave the stuff that most people go to SIGGRAPH
for - equipment show, film show, parties, courses - intact. Remove the
technical sessions and make a real technical conference out of them at
a completely different time of year in some obscure place (like San
Francisco).

    I suspect there are too many $$$ involved for the ACM and SIGGRAPH
to ever allow this to happen, unfortunately. SIGGRAPH can make $millions$.
