If your request is received and approved by 19 August, you will receive an email acknowledgment.

Event Publication

ASCAP/BMI Fees

ASCAP and BMI are membership associations of U.S. composers, songwriters, and publishers of every kind of music. Whenever music (recorded or live) is played at an event, a license must be purchased from these associations. The license purchase is the responsibility of the organizer and not the venue where the event is to be held.

Exhibitor Space

Exhibitors are not approved to use BOF rooms. If you have questions regarding this policy please contact us at exhibits@siggraph.org.
