The chat function will be integrated for virtual and in-person participants within specific session and presentation pages. It will allow participants to communicate in real time, enabling easy networking and collaboration. With this feature, users can chat with each other during the livestream.

The chat is intended to be a discussion forum with fellow SIGGRAPH 2023 participants. It is not monitored by the presenter and is not a Q&A.

SIGGRAPH 2023 offers many opportunities to connect in person and virtually. Beyond the attendee directory, some SIGGRAPH 2023 participants chose to add a digital profile to their registration. If you meet a new colleague with a QR code on their conference badge, scan it with your smartphone to connect with them on social networking sites or their personal websites.

Adding links took place during the registration process and cannot be updated upon printing your badge.
