VENDOR PROGRAM
The ISC Vendor Program is a platform for commercial organizations to showcase their offerings and business strategies. It complements the ISC Exhibition and allows companies to demonstrate their current and upcoming solutions. As a result, HPC
users from science, engineering, and commerce can gain a comprehensive understanding of the products and services available in the market, as well as what they can anticipate in the future.
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. Join us for a dynamic and exciting presentation, where our platinum sponsors will share their company roadmap in just 20 minutes. The line-up of presenters will showcase key milestones, innovations, and future directions 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 company roadmaps!
VENDOR SHOWDOWN
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.
ONLINE INNOVATION SHOWCASE
FIRST-TIME EXHIBITOR PITCH
First-time exhibitors will have the opportunity to present themselves in a one-minute introduction.
The one-minute introduction is intended to provide a brief overview, i.e., of the company’s mission, values, and focus, as well as to provide insight into recent initiatives, projects, or offerings.
STUDENT PROGRAM
STUDENT PROGRAM
The ISC Student Program offers students exposure to high performance computing, artificial intelligence, data analytics and quantum computing. The program prioritizes graduate, undergraduate, and high school students.
The Student Cluster Competition invites university student teams from around the world to compete online and in real-time to showcase their own cluster system designs while striving for the highest performance.
Help us to orchestrate the 2025 event as part of the Student Volunteer Program, and in return, you shall gain exclusive access to tutorials, conference sessions, workshops, the exhibition, and even selected evening events.
