“Pathfinders”
Description:
South Lobby Personal guidance to the full range of possibilities at SIGGRAPH 2001. If you need information, consultation, or expert recommendations, talk with a veteran SIGGRAPH mentor at Pathfinders. See page 14.
Do you have questions about what to see, how to make the best use of your time at the conference, or what best fits your career path? Ask the Pathfinders mentors to help you design a schedule that suits your needs. Whether it is your first SIGGRAPH conference or your 28th, Pathfinders is here to help you get the most out of your conference experience. Pathfinders was created to help new attendees navigate the massive expanse of activities that each conference presents and provide a connection to the SIGGRAPH community. The hope was to add a sense of belonging to a community, rather than looking at the conference as an isolated event. Now it’s clear that Pathfinders is a valuable service for all conference attendees, and the Pathfinders mentors are waiting and willing to help plan your week whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned veteran. Pathfinders is staffed by mentors who generously volunteer their time to offer one-on-one counseling to attendees. Pathfinders staff and volunteers are long-time attendees who haven’t forgotten their first SIGGRAPH conference experiences. They want to pass along their wisdom to help you make the most of an exciting, jam-packed week.
