Blender has a long tradition of being present at SIGGRAPH (for over two decades already), with more events being added to the schedule over the past few years, such as CTN and Annecy Animation Film Festival.
This year, a small delegation (Francesco Siddi and Dalai Felinto) of the Blender team will also attend the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, CA. The primary goal is to network with partners and be available for industry outreach.
If you are in the Bay Area during March 20-24 and want to connect, reach out to francesco at blender.org.
