May 26 -- ISC is widely recognized as one of the premier global marketplaces for innovative ideas and breaking news.That could be one reason why advance registration for ISC'11 is 26 percent ahead of last year's record pace, and has set an all-time record for the 26-year-old-conference and exhibition. ISC'11 will doubtlessly be the most successful HPC event! Besides, with a comprehensive technical program you can't afford NOT to join us in Hamburg.

A way to keep track of important happenings at ISC'11 is to use the ISC Agenda Planner, which allows you to sift through the extensive conference program and select those must-attend sessions to create your own personalized schedule.

2011 Exhibition: Bigger than Ever!

ISC'11 will be the most extensive and dynamic exhibition ever. One key indicator is the participation of 40 new industrial and research exhibitors, joining our long-time lineup of exhibitors. Also new this year, six HPC start-ups will be making their debut at ISC'11. The most up-to-date exhibitor list, including company profiles, can be found here.

The exhibition will be open June 20–22 to all Conference and Exhibition passport holders. All visitors are welcome to attend the Hot Seat Sessions, the Exhibitor and Start-up Forums, the ISC 26th Welcome Party and all contributed sessions.

The Exhibitor Forum sessions on Tuesday, June 21, and Wednesday, June 22, will cover the latest developments in HPC, from new products and upgrades to recent research and results to future plans and system roadmaps.

New this year, customers will present case studies on how they achieved better performance, reduced time-to-market, improved reliability or enhanced capabilities by using exhibitors' technologies.
