Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

93 – Live From SIGGRAPH 2025: A Career of Outstanding Service From Mk Haley
Q: What was one of your biggest learning takeaways from doing that conference?
That it's just $120 for a gallon of coffee in a convention center. People don't realize the intricate planning and contractual obligations that go into organizing a conference.

Q: So what drew you to the organization, and how did you get started in volunteering and being involved in the community?
I can tell you for sure when I started, I never intended to be a lifer. I was encouraged by my parents to go to art school, and I became interested in computer art. I started volunteering because it was one of the only ways for a student to participate in such events.
84 - Award-Winning Voxelized Destruction at Real-Time Live!
Q: What is your advice for those who want to target both research experts and enthusiasts in their presentations?
Start with a captivating set piece to grab attention immediately and sprinkle in humor throughout to maintain engagement even in complex presentations.

Q: What motivated you to work through all these roadblocks and iterate over and over again to get to better and better research?
My fundamental motivation comes from the desire to create and the sense of discomfort when things don't work, compelling me to keep improving and debugging my work.
79 – Inclusivity and Education in Immersive Spaces
Q: What advice would you give to aspiring educators and content creators?
Don't be afraid to be first and define your own category; you're not anyone's competition, and solving the problems you see before you will guide your path.
