The VES Los Angeles Section celebrated our global community with VES members from around the world at a a high-energy VES SIGGRAPH Party on August 9th in downtown Los Angeles.

SIGGRAPH is the premiere conference and exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques worldwide. This year, ACM SIGGRAPH celebrated its milestone 50th conference and reflected on a half century of discovery and advancement, while charting a course for the bold and limitless future and next 50 years of innovation. The annual conference has ushered in new breakthroughs, bolstered a community of perpetual dreamers, and mapped a future where exponential innovation isn’t just possible – it’s inevitable.

VES members from around the globe and their guests gathered at the festive mixer during the conference to meet fellow members and colleagues who are at the forefront of visual effects, computer graphics, digital art, animation, new realities, artificial intelligence, research and more. The hugely popular and capacity-crowd event, which was free to VES members, gave SIGGRAPH attendees the opportunity to enjoy one of the many benefits that the VES offers its global membership.
