I have been to SIGGRAPH and I think the comparison with Lulu is not at all fair. SIGGRAPH is so completely different that Lulu that there is no way at all to compare the two. SIGGRAPH is very focused in what it's about. Lulu is just starting out, and it appears that it's still trying to figure out what it should be. In addition, Lulu is extremely smaller. The biggest problem I've had will Lulu is figuring out what to expect. I too tried to compare it to Siggraph beforehand and it wasn't until I went there that I realized the comparison wasn't fair. I think if you could get all preconceptions out of people's mind, Lulu could have a very good chance of picking up. Unfortunately, that's impossible to do, so I would then suggest that Lulu try to articulate better just what its identity is (as difficult as that might be.. :-/...).
