This is for everyone who is organizing their own travel arrangements.
I just received an email from SIGGRAPH stating that they changed the conference dates:
SIGGRAPH 2008 is Monday - Friday, not Sunday - Thursday. This schedule change maximizes your travel time so that your weekend is free to spend time with family or friends or to enjoy all of the Los Angeles attractions.
I just want to make sure everyone has the correct airfare tickets and hotel reservations. I will mention this change this Sunday at the meeting as well.
I’d be happy to forward the email to anyone who would like. I believe you get signed up for the mailing list by becoming an ACM member, but if not visit http://www.siggraph.org/s2008/maillist/ to sign up for the list.

It’s always been Monday-Friday for the 2008 conference, the only reason they’re making this announcement is because the conference is usually Sunday-Thursday. The dates have been the same since they announced it, they’re probably just clarifying for people who were making false assumptions based on previous conferences.

Thanks for clearing that up. I haven’t purchased my ticket for this year yet. So I was not completely sure of this years date. Better to be safe than sorry, so thats why I posted it. I still think it would be good for everyone to sign up for the mailing list though, there is a lot of good information you get from it.
