Joe Rohde, Executive Designer and Vice President, Creative for Walt Disney Imagineering, will present the SIGGRAPH 2006 keynote address "From Myth to Mountain: Insights Into Virtual Placemaking" on 31 July during the 33rd International SIGGRAPH Conference.
Rohde is the lead designer of Disney's Animal Kingdom and is responsible for driving the vision for the theme park. He was the principal creative force behind the just-opened Expedition Everest attraction - which made its debut this year.
"It is an honor to have such a dynamic and creative leader as our keynote speaker in Boston," stated John C. Finnegan, SIGGRAPH 2006 Conference Chair from Purdue University. "It is also fitting to add such a distinguished and cutting-edge professional to our long legacy of dynamic and fascinating SIGGRAPH keynote speakers."
