ISC 2026
EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS
June 22 – 26, 2026
CCH, Hamburg
GERMANY
Where Real Systems Meet Real Workloads
The ISC 2026 Exhibition is where the HPC, AI, and quantum computing ecosystem shows what it’s capable of. This is one of the few places worldwide where system architects, vendors, researchers, and operators can stand in front of real systems and speak honestly about deployment, power, cooling, and software stacks.
If you want to understand where high-end computing is actually going over the next few years, this is where you listen, ask questions, and compare stories from people who build and run production infrastructure.
EARLY-BIRD REGISTRATION ENDS ON MAY 6, 2026.
On the show floor, visitors will find complete systems, accelerators, interconnects, storage, and cooling solutions presented in the context of real workloads instead of isolated product pitches. Increasingly, this also includes early-stage quantum technologies and discussions around how they integrate with HPC and AI environments.
Conversations range from future system roadmaps to practical realities – what happens under a power cap, how systems behave with mixed AI/HPC workloads, how emerging quantum approaches may fit into hybrid workflows, and so much more.
The exhibition connects technology vendors with users from research labs, weather and climate centers, industrial HPC sites, and emerging AI factories. Thus, discussions span both cutting-edge research and day-to-day operations.

“Community and collaboration has become my #1 reason to attend ISC.” Stephan Schenk
START WITH THE TUTORIALS
ISC Tutorials are designed from the ground up to give you a structured, small-group way into complex topics before the main program intensity kicks off. Whether you’re new to HPC-AI or you’re just moving into the field, a tutorial lets you spend either half a day or a full day with experts who have already made the mistakes.
They can walk you through concepts, tools, and live examples instead of you just trying to piece everything together from talks and hallway conversations.
In 2026, tutorial pass prices are reduced across registration categories compared to last year. Many attendees use tutorials as a way to get oriented, meet others with similar interests, and build a foundation that makes the rest of the week more productive.
high-impact tutorial themes include:
- Energy-aware performance engineering and tools
- Practical workflows for integrating AI into simulation codes
- Hands-on introductions to HPC-QC software stacks and hybrid workflows
Add a Tutorial Pass to your registration to secure a seat in the sessions that best match your current projects and the skills you want to build.
WHY INDUSTRY LEADERS RETURN TO ISC
ISC offers us a valuable platform not only to connect with potential new customers but also to engage with our existing customers and partners from Europe - and, more recently, from the APAC and Americas regions as well. The event presents a fantastic opportunity to showcase our products, network with industry peers, and stay informed about the latest developments and innovations in HPC.
Troy Patterson, VP Sales and Marketing, ThinkParQ
“As a long-standing Platinum Sponsor, we receive an unparalleled opportunity to showcase our cutting-edge HPC and AI technologies and solutions in the region. More than just visibility, ISC delivers measurable value - through a high number of strategic one-to-one engagements and impactful booth interactions with industry decision-makers - that directly accelerate our growth. It has consistently proven to be the place to connect, learn, and experience the future of HPC and AI firsthand. We’re excited to continue building on this momentum at ISC 2026.”
Marcel Boonstra, Lenovo EMEA Events Manager
“ISC is my favorite event to exhibit at. Thanks to its relatively compact size, it’s easy to meet the right people and have valuable discussions that make this event so important for us. I also love the friendly, family-like organizing team, who create a truly welcoming atmosphere.”
