Posted by Kirt Witte in : Uncategorized , comments closed

All SCAD Visual Effects majors should plan on attending SIGGRAPH, especially Jrs. and Srs.  This year it is in New Orleans and it will probably not be this near to Savannah for many years to come.  Hotels usually book up fast, so make your reservations early.

Hope you can all make it!
