Who should attend: Industry, the Public Sector and Academia that are engaged in digital transformation, innovation and wishing to future-proof their organisations.

Why attend:

As we step into the AI and exascale era, organisations and businesses need to future-proof their digital capabilities to stay competitive. The 3rd annual exascale and scalable AI workshop will bring together global leaders in high performance computing (HPC) and AI to explore how businesses and the public sector can scale their solutions and embrace cutting-edge technologies.

This workshop will discuss how to use computing for sustainable innovation and share the latest developments in scalable AI and HPC. Expert speakers will present insights into how to build robust applications and reduce costly real-world R&D.

Through engaging case studies, we will highlight how scalable computing is already creating real impact and helping to reach sustainability targets across sectors such as energy, automotive, life sciences and manufacturing. The workshop is a unique opportunity to network with leading experts, ask questions and learn how to apply these technologies to your own challenges.

Whether you're already working at scale or just beginning to explore what’s possible, this event is your guide to harnessing the power of exascale and AI for long-term success for your organisation.
