Khronos is delighted to observe ten years of participation in SIGGRAPH North America with a huge new “Member Demonstration Pavilion,” an Open House hospitality suite for Press & Educators, and five BOFS covering a variety of our APIs.
For the last ten years, Khronos Group open standards have been the foundation of a multi-billion dollar industry, and for those same ten years Khronos has been honored to be part of SIGGRAPH. This year in Vancouver on August 9, 10 and 11, 2011, we have a greater presence than in previous years, and some exciting new developments.
- CHECKOUT the new "Khronos Pavilion" Booth #663 right in the middle of the SIGGRAPH show floor with numerous Khronos member company demos!
- TEACH Khronos APIs! Professors and trainers are invited to an Open House to discuss coursework contributions to the “Khronos Institute of Training & Education”
- LEARN from five Khronos BOFs spread out over August 10 and 11; each with updates on Khronos APIs, demos and door prizes
- FREE Khronos API Reference Card Sets ($100 value) offered to anyone that completes a “Khronos Pavilion Tour”
- NEWS will be announced at the show so please contact Jonathan Hirshon for more details
