The VES celebrated our global community at a high-energy VES SIGGRAPH mixer on August 13th at the Rogue Kitchen & Wetbar in Vancouver’s Gastown neighborhood. The party was hosted by the VES Vancouver Section with support from sponsors Eyeline Studios, Netflix Animation Studios and Barnstorm. The hugely popular event, free to VES members, gave SIGGRAPH attendees the opportunity to network and enjoy meeting old and new industry colleagues and friends.
SIGGRAPH is the leading conference and exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques. Twenty-three VES members presented on 30 diverse topics ranging from “Navigating the Future of VFX Education” to “PostViz Workflows for VFX and Virtual Production.” The annual conference has ushered in new breakthroughs, bolstered a community of perpetual dreamers and mapped a future where exponential innovation isn’t just possible – it’s inevitable.
VES Section Board members from Vancouver, Toronto, Washington, Germany, Los Angeles, Montreal, Georgia, New York and the Bay Area enjoyed a leadership luncheon where many connected inperson for the first time and shared insights on industry trends.
