SIGGRAPH 2009: Panels
Overview:
Panels are moderated discussions on important topics, with expert panelists chosen by the organizers to provide a wide range of perspectives. Panels have long been an important part of the annual SIGGRAPH conference because they provide a forum for the community to share experiences, opinions, insights, speculation, disagreement, controversy, and audience interaction with the leading experts in computer graphics and interactive techniques.
Panels are a mixture of sessions organized by special invitation and sessions selected from juried proposals submitted through the online submission process.
