INSIGHTS FROM EXHIBITORS
This is a curated selection of sessions featuring organizations participating in the ISC Exhibition. While it includes presentations from the ISC Vendor Program — a platform for commercial organizations and research institutions to showcase their offerings and strategies — it also features additional sessions related to exhibitors that are part of other ISC programs.
These sessions provide HPC users from science, engineering, and commerce with a comprehensive view of the current and upcoming technologies, services, and innovations shaping the market.
VENDOR ROADMAPS
Vendors in this session will satisfy attendees’ curiosity about their long-term goals and what is currently in the pipeline by offering a glimpse of their product development plans. Join us for a dynamic and exciting presentation, where each of our platinum sponsors will share their company’s roadmap in just 20 minutes. Key milestones, innovations, and future directions will be revealed in concise and engaging presentations.
This event promises to deliver valuable insights and inspiration to industry professionals, investors, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in the future plans of leading companies. Don’t miss your chance to gain a 360-degree view of these roadmaps!
VENDOR SHOWDOWN
The well-liked Vendor Showdown features presentations by influential figures in the HPC industry. The showdown is divided into two simultaneous sessions, with every speaker given a few minutes to showcase their organization’s latest strategies, products, and research. Following this, a group of expert moderators will engage each speaker in a lively discussion by asking thought-provoking questions.
HPC SOLUTIONS FORUM
The HPC Solutions Forum allows companies and research institutions to discuss topics such as cloud computing, machine learning, performance optimization, networks, composability, and data management.
Each speaker has a 20-minute slot to discuss their perspective on one to three topics and how it ties into their organization’s technological and business strategies. All talks will be held in person at the forum.
FIRST-TIME EXHIBITOR PITCH
First-time exhibitors will have the opportunity to present themselves in a one-minute introduction.
The introduction is intended to provide a brief overview of the company’s mission, values, and focus, as well as to provide insight into recent initiatives, projects, or offerings.
WALKING TALKS
Returning after its successful debut last year, this format invites you to walk alongside a speaker through the exhibition hall – replacing the traditional conference setting with a more informal, mobile experience. While this year’s topic is still to be confirmed, the speaker will explore themes inspired by the exhibitors and displays around you. It’s a unique chance to engage with ideas in a different setting and take in the atmosphere of the exhibition as you listen.

QUESTIONS:
- What kinds of organizations should be investing in quantum computing today, and what practical steps should they be taking?
- What types of applications are not well served by “standard” processing architectures, and what is the solution?
- For organizations pursuing both traditional HPC and new AI workloads, to what extent should they have shared infrastructure / budget / personnel versus separate?
- In what ways does the concept of “high performance data management” need to evolve to encompass new workloads and architectures?
- Will Ethernet solutions (including Ultra Ethernet Consortium) be significant for HPC-AI supercomputers? Why or why not?
- How is the mix of on-premises versus cloud computing changing for HPC-AI, and what tools do organizations need for managing their cloud deployments?
- New architectures, new workloads, new languages, new levels of precision ... How does all this affect HPC middleware and programming environments?
- What should the HPC-AI industry be doing with regard to power optimization and sustainability?
- What key factors will help the HPC community attract and retain talent, especially new talent?
- The next innovation: What will be the big news at ISC 2035? Be as specific as you can.
