I was not able to attend siggraph this year dud to lack of funds. SO..... I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on what "ambient occlusion" is and how to do it in maya. Thanks for all the help in advance.

Very interested in this as well. Apparently this is a technique ILM uses quite exclusively for quick GI and radiosity type effects.

It's the Siggraph 2002 course notes near the bottom.
Chapter 5 I believe.
