A few friends and I are now organizing our own graphics programming conference in Europe: https://www.graphicsprogrammingconference.nl/
Think: Game/realtime graphics, rendering, just in Europe, with less flying and cheaper hotels, to meet the same folks you'd meet in San Francisco otherwise :)
If you're interested to speak (and want to submit a talk), reach out to the contact email provided there or DM me. Same for sponsorship opportunities.
Retoots/boosts are appreciated!
@anteru well, one thing is certain - the weather certainly won't distract from the conference.
Cool! I'm saving the date!
@TheIneQuation It means also flights/hotels are cheap and there's no contention with other conferences. I think that's a good thing - in the end, I end up indoors 95% of the time I'm at a conference anyways, and paying top money to see the sun on the airplane makes no sense to me :)
@anteru Looks like a pretty cool topic for a conference! I wish I could go!
@gmic What's stopping you? It's walking distance from France.
@anteru I currently have family concerns that force me to limit my travels. But I'm saving the idea for future editions.
@gmic Fair enough. It's in late November, maybe things look brighter by that time. Wish you all the best!
@anteru thanks for the initiative! Small remark about the website: on mobile, I got white font over white-ish background, it was almost impossible to read Also I hope there will be at least one John Smith attending ^^
@anteru
Will a student reduction be available?
@Xander That's TBD. Under consideration :)
