SIGGRAPH 2023 incorporated virtual access for interested attendees all around the world. However, they wanted to add more engagement from their participants. This is where RumbleTalk event chat came in.

The theme of SIGGRAPH 2023 is “The Age of SIGGRAPH”. This theme reflects the conference’s 50 years of history and its commitment to innovation in computer graphics and interactive techniques.

The Challenge: Virtual communication for participants
SIGGRAPH 2023 also offered Virtual Access and Virtual Access Supporter registrations for those unable to attend in person. Virtual Access registrants had access to a selection of live streamed and recorded content.
Even if they had virtual access through live streaming, they wanted participants to have another outlet for communication. Therefore, they were looking to find an event chat room that could accompany their live stream.
The Solution: How SIGGRAPH 2023 engaged its audience with a live stream and event chat
This is where RumbleTalk came in. In addition to the presenters talking with the audience through a live stream, they also had 150 chat rooms where they could speak with other participants.
RumbleTalk was designed to fit the theme of the event website. Then, participants can come and go if they want to chat with other attendees.
The chat rooms were not monitored by the presenter and were not used for Q&As. However, its main purpose was to let the participants interact with other like-minded individuals. Since they could not directly speak with the presenter or moderator, this made it easy to communicate with participants who wanted to talk about the topics being discussed.
The Results: Around thousands of participants attended the event and stayed to chat
RumbleTalk Chat played a vital role in the success of SIGGRAPH 2023. It enabled attendees to participate in dynamic and fruitful discussions, mirroring the interactions found at in-person conferences. The platform seamlessly facilitated connections with thousands of participants, transcending geographical boundaries.
Moreover, the organizers of the summit saw the effect of 150 chat rooms, guaranteeing that the conversations maintained a respectful and professional tone, aligning with the event’s high standards.

RumbleTalk Chat emerged as a valuable asset during SIGGRAPH 2023, ensuring a seamless and captivating online event for all participants.
