Bumping this topic to generate some feedback. I'm looking int= o going to SIGGRAPH again this year. I've been 5 times in the past 15 y= ears. I always get a lot out of it but just thought I would ask how it migh= t be compared to the Motion Conference. I know that conference will be favo= red on this list but I'm especially keen to hear from someone who has b= een to both shows. My tastes lean toward VFX and 3D with an interest in thi= ngs like particles and simulation over pure motion design.=A0

Anyone care to share experiences?
