Updated: 2012-02-09 09:10:33

Full Disclosure Update: in the original post, I forgot to mention my affiliation with the SIGGRAPH 2012 committee (I’m the Games Chair). I’ve given several presentations at SIGGRAPH, and have spoken to many other game developers who have done the same.

The Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and Games (I3D) has long been one of my favorite conferences.
