Siggraph 2003

The 30th International Conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques commenced on Sunday 27th July in San Diego, California. The scenic west coast city was probably a factor in drawing more attendees to Siggraph this year. Over 24,000 people attended the event with a record number of course submissions totalling 111. The San Diego Convention Centre with its green glass and circular façade depicts breaking waves of the ocean and its large size accommodated this year’s event well. The surrounding area provided entertainment, shopping and local cuisine with popular venues in the gas lamp quarter and the seaport village.
