Program

The program will comprise speakers from academia, national labs, and industry. We have confirmed speakers from Brookhaven National Lab, Oak Ridge National Lab, NERSC, and Stony Brook University. A tentative program will be assembled soon.

We welcome contributed talks from all areas covering the intersection of HPC and AI. If you are interested in contributing a talk please see the call for presentations.
