+We're excited to announce that Slang will have a strong presence at **[SIGGRAPH 2026](https://s2026.siggraph.org/)** in Los Angeles this July! This year's conference features three courses covering Slang and neural shading techniques, a Birds of a Feather session for community discussion and updates, and several additional community events.
+
+Whether you're new to shader programming, building neural graphics workflows, or curious about where the shading ecosystem is headed, there's a session for you.
+
+Visit our [SIGGRAPH 2026 landing page](https://shader-slang.org/landing/siggraph-26/) for the full schedule, session descriptions, and links to materials as they become available.
+
+We hope to see you in Los Angeles!
