Curious as to whom is going to Siggraph this year. Found out it's in Vancouver this year and figure a polycount meet-up is in order then. I figure a get together for beers sometime during the week. I'll probably be heading there myself on the 9th of August.

I'll probably just be getting a basic day pass since that's all I can afford (unless someone is awesome and can hook me up with a better pass )

Also, ideas and suggestions for potential places for a meet up would be welcome. I expect downtown to be fairly busy during the conference, but there should be a place or two we could gather a good group.

I'm going to try to go but I don't know what day yet. just the Basic one-day deal most likely

Beer is always good

You Tube

more stuff that i dont understand

I'll be there to present a poster. I've never been to downtown Vancouver before, so it should be a good time. I enjoyed last year's siggraph, even though I never got off the expo floor haha.

Registered for August 9th, so I'll be down there then if any polycounters want to meet up at some point for a pint or 3.

Times a tickin'

We will have to arrange something, I would totally be down for a meet up. I live just on the outskirts of Vancouver so I'm practically down there all the time so if anyone has any questions feel free to pass em by me.

I look forward to this years Siggraph lets make it a good one!.

Some day... Some day I will go to comic con,siggraph and e3. all in the same year

This. I'd rather spend the entry fee on beer.

I'll be at siggraph this year, I'd be up for any sort of meetup too, about time I started networking a bit more.

OK well i may not be a frequent poster or anything like that but still, i'm human! and i'll be there so yea sure i'm always in for a beer and to meet new people !

prolly gonna show up one day

Tim send me a beer :P

Well I just signed up for the full event and should be there all week, Do any locals know a good place for a meetup? Arman you going?

I'll be there too, no plans of yet eh?

Yea, I can't think of any places near downtown worth going to. I'm sure there are a few places. Open to suggestions for places for a pint or two.

Bah, downtown is not the only place in vancouver no ? And the public transportations look decent and there is the taxi, so it can be a bit further i'd say and if everyone is ok with that

Skipping my free admission! I got a free T-shirt tho.

Bumping the tread as a little reminder ! It starts tommorrow guys! So as a total stranger to this city i'd find it pretty cool to meet some new people!*cough cough*

Seconded. Although I'm stuck downtown. If anyone wants to meet up I'm up for a beer or something downtown

I apologize for being lazy and not setting up anything. I'll be in the area today. If anyone wants to get together for a pint or to wander around siggraph a bit leave me a pm or look for me on google+

I'll naturally be wearing my greentooth shirt and i'll be looking for other polycounters while there.

Aww I didn't see your message until just now. Perhaps people will be around tomorrow? Would anyone be up for meeting at that pixelated orca whale by the convention center at 6pm? We could just wing it from there. I'll be the guy with the plaid looking shirt and blue satchel bag. Hope to see some of you there.

Woah! Looks like a begginning, i' agree with the idea of meeting mear the minecraft orca around 6!
