IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
Contributors will receive a single code for the appropriate number of registrations listed above. Discount codes and instructions for online registration will be available mid-June.
Each contributor gets the highest discount available without aggregating discounts for multiple presentations. Discounts are ONLY transferable to an individual who is a co-contributor or co-presenter of the work and recognized as such on the SIGGRAPH 2025 website.
If a contributor’s employer is willing to pay for registration, SIGGRAPH encourages the contributor to waive the recognition discount. Any overall savings goes to enhance the overall attendee experience at the conference.
