SUMMARY:Beyond the Talk: SIGGRAPH Roundtables for Creative Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Engage. Reflect. Connect.\n\nNew this year, SIGGRAPH 2025 intr
 oduces Roundtables, a series of intimate, speaker-led discussions designed
  to foster meaningful, in-depth conversations beyond the stage.\n\nEach 90
 -minute roundtable brings together up to 10 participants per table in a fo
 cused, informal setting. Each table centers on a specific topic aligned wi
 th a SIGGRAPH 2025 Talk and is facilitated by the speaker who presented it
 . These sessions are a unique opportunity to share experiences, ask questi
 ons, and explore emerging ideas in a small-group format, with peers, contr
 ibutors, and community members from across disciplines.\n\nParticipation i
 s first-come, first-served at each 10 participant table, so we strongly en
 courage attendees to arrive early to secure a seat at the topic of their c

  the table’s focus theme\n•        A closing 10-minute summary of shared i
 nsights and takeaways\n\nRoundtable Themes:\nTable 1: From Stage to Screen
