ISC? Where’s the Chatter?
This time last year, social media feeds and even industry headlines were filled with what’s to come at ISC. This year you’d barely even know it’s happening.
It’s ISC in Hamburg next week. Not that you’d know it from your industry press headlines or your social media feed. This time last year people were busy announcing that they’ll be attending, asking who else is going and arranging meetings. Many of the bigger companies were circulating invitations to parties and private meetings.
So far, this year, you’d barely even know ISC is happening in a week!
I know there’s a lot going on in the world of AI but even so I’m a little surprised it has taken over the conversation to this extent. We don’t even have HPC trying to muscle in on the AI conversation and position itself as relevant anymore. There seems to be more of a resignation and acceptance that HPC is now a user of AI like everyone else.
So, who’s going? I somehow doubt I will turn up to find an empty conference floor. Though it does perhaps feel a little more academia focused this year than it did last (looking at the presentations at least).
And if you can’t make it, come and catch up on all the gossip at HPC Club a week or so later instead 😉
