I mainly work with video graphics, but about 20 percent of my work involves other mediums. What is the conference for me to go to. I would like to see some cool workshops in After Effects or Combustion as well as see new technologies for my field. NAB, Siggraph, Promax? Which one, or are there others to go to this year?

Is anyone going to any of these this year?

Siggraph
that is the place to be for 3d and motion graphics...I went in 2003 and it was simply amazing. I'm going to try to go each year.

If you are 40+ and have hawaiian shirts and a ponytail, you should go to Siggraph.

For some reason I think the 40 year old hawaiian shirt and pony tail dudes are actually at NAB.
I been to NAB and Siggraph was way better in my opinion, NAB is bigger but there is a lot of stuff that I didn't really cared about.
Ive never been to promax, how is that?

NAB has the same pony tail hawaiian shirt guys that you see hanging out in the keyboards section of your local music store.
siggraph, on the other hand, is just a giant job fair now.

there was no job fair at siggraph '03. it was still worth the visit to interact with the newest gfx related tech out there, and to see all the best art/ animation.

So, what is the verdict? Siggraph is the place to be for motion graphics?
I saw these links on the NAB website. Pretty cool seminars....whatathink?

iv been at siggraph 2000 in new orleans. I really enjoyed the area where they showed new tech not yet developed for communicating.
