I really do wish we had a show like SIGGRAPH here… Alas, little NZ is a little bit… well, little.

I'd agree with ibkanat and Bmud on Organic Motion and (especially) the holographic display - new technology and research always interests me the most (apart from blender that is lol) so hope you'll be able to get coverage of them as well! Also, I've got a spare 2GB CompactFlash card kicking around that I can't use - so if Kernons SD offer is no good for your camera or whatever ;) lol… - but I don't think many devices use CompactFlash! nm, just take some awsome videos of anything cool lol!

Currently, I don't have any suggestions of where to go, your list looks good.
Just be sure to take lots of pictures and be sure to go to Pixar's booth!

Pleeeeease look out for things related to videogames. (Almost everything?)

Btw, congratulations! Enjoy you visit for us Tim :))

If the Jim Henson people are there possibly doing digital puppet stuff, you should talk to them!!

Also, Paul Debevec (this year releasing a holographic video display!) would be cool to catch, and Takeo Igarashi (Fibermesh sketched-based modeling)

Great to hear Blender Nation will be there. Loved last years coverage. More of the same.
Better than CNN I say already.

Excellent!
Blendernation almost on the same level as CNN!
Congrats to you, guys!
