Preparations for SIGGRAPH2009 Asia are well underway, and Masa Inakage (the Chair of the Yokohama conference) sits down with CGSociety to talk about it.
The Japanese are the third largest contingent of SIGGRAPH attendees. First comes the Americans, then Canadians, then the Japanese. So the general CG community in Japan are well aware of the SIGGRAPH conference here in the US. Of course with the conference always (until now) being in the States, not every university could send their people. Now, this unique opportunity to have the SIGGRAPH over in Yokohama, I believe that there will be many, many Japanese people making their way to the local conference.
