INTERNATIONAL ATTENDANCE
Siggraph attracts many international visitors and is acclaimed as
the premier show for the most up-to-date trends in computer graphics
worldwide. This is your chance to communicate with leading
researchers, programmers, and artists who will showcase the expanding
international scope of the Iris user community.
GENERAL SESSION: IRIS APPLICATIONS & TECHNOLOGY
As in previous years we will organize a general session for everyone.
This session will highlight the best applications developed by you
on Iris workstations. SGI's top technical officers will discuss
future technological developments in computing and graphics.
Again, we will encourage an open exchange of ideas between you
and members of Silicon Graphics' executive team.
SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS (SIGs)
Due to the growth of the Iris community we made arrangements to
add four special interest groups. Each will last 2 hours, two
will run simultaneously in parallel. These sessions encourage
a high degree of user participation and interaction. SGI liasons
will help to coordinate the special interest groups.
YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN
If every member of the Iris community takes personal responsibility
for at least one activity at the International User Forum we can all
look forward to an exciting and spirited event.

P.S. after an already long message: The next Iris Universe will come
out in full-color with many digitally printed images. And we are
working on getting the Software Exchange going. It looks pretty
good!
