Welcome Media!

Recent news and concerns about the health and safety of conference participants has made it impossible to host SIGGRAPH 2020 in Washington, D.C. as planned. Thus, we have decided to move to a virtual conference format.

Media registration is now closed.

MEDIA REGISTRATION

When you complete the media registration form, you will be asked to select the type of organization that you will be representing at SIGGRAPH 2020. You must provide the requested supporting documentation before your request for media registration will be considered. Everyone requesting media registration must be an active contributor to or employed by a publication, news organization, or digital news outlet. Account representatives, sales executives, book authors, and engineers do not meet the criteria for media registration.

Media registration is now closed.

Media registration entitles you to everything included in the Full Conference pass, excluding VR Theater and receptions. Additionally, media registrants do not receive a full conference USB.
