One presenter per half-day course, and one presenter per short course can apply for travel reimbursement of up to USD $1,000.00. Only presenters whose permanent residence is outside of Tokyo, Japan can apply for travel reimbursement.
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

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.
