Travel Approval

Covered expenses include air and rail fares or automobile travel and hotel.

Reimbursement can only be reimbursed by one person from the course. But at the course organizer's discretion they may be split between multiple presenters. So if a course has a large number of presenters, the workshop organizer may split these benefits amongst presenters if necessary.

Automobile Travel

If an authorized traveler chooses to travel to the conference by personal automobile, SIGGRAPH Asia will reimburse at the common mileage rate of the country that the traveler uses the car in. However, SIGGRAPH Asia will only reimburse up to the cost of a round-trip air ticket from the starting destination provided. Automobile travelers may also receive reimbursement for parking.

Accommodation

SIGGRAPH Asia will reimburse hotel room charges, provided the hotel bill is in the name of the authorized traveler. It is strongly recommended to book the accommodation in a hotel which is included in the official SIGGRAPH Asia hotel list.

Not Reimbursed
