There is something poignant about the last day of a conference. So many people putting in countless hours of incredible effort, for a direct sensory experience that now, in a matter of hours, will vanish forever.
In a way, it is like theater, this idea that we are alive on this planet together for these precious moments, for a shared experience that can never be repeated.
Every year at Siggraph is unique, and each is beautiful in its own way. After several long years of not being able to get together in person for such an experience, it was deeply appreciated.
