Doctoral Showcase and Scientific Visualization Showcase Deadlines Extended to Friday, August 21

Showcase Your HPC Dissertation
Showcase Your HPC Dissertation! The Doctoral Showcase Program invites graduating Ph.D. students in high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis to present their dissertation research and engage in stimulating discussions with the SC community. This program provides a unique opportunity for you, the graduate students, to engage and get feedback from other students, senior researchers and future employers! Don't be afraid to show off your HPC talents!

Submit Your Best Movies to the Scientific Visualization Showcase!
SC15’s Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase Program provides a forum for the year's most instrumental movies in HPC.  Six finalists will compete for the Best Visualization Award, and each finalist will present his or her movie during a dedicated session at SC15 in a 15-minute presentation. Movies are judged based on how their movie illuminates science, by the quality of the movie, and for innovations in the process used for creating the movie.

Call for Interest in SC Leadership Roles: Nominations Due Tuesday, September 8

The SC Steering Committee is seeking future leaders for the SC Conference Series. Nominations for two openings on the SC Steering Committee are open until September 8. Steering committee members serve for 4 years and attend 2-3 in-person meetings per year to discuss SC, as well as additional telecons as necessary to support the SC Conference Series. If you or someone you know is a leader in HPC and wants to help ensure that the SC Conference continues to be the most exciting conference about all things HPC, consider a nomination to the SC Steering Committee.

For information on how nominate someone, or yourself, visit http://sc15.supercomputing.org/call-interest-sc-leadership-roles.

Applications due: Tuesday, September 8
Email contact: nominations@info.supercomputing.org


Exhibitor Forum Submissions Open Until Monday, September 14

Each year, the Exhibitor Forum provides manufacturers, vendors and HPC service providers with a venue to deliver a technical presentation that is open to both Exhibit and Technical Program attendees. Last year's Exhibitor Forum covered a broad range of topics ranging from cutting-edge hardware to advanced software solutions to data management infrastructures. This year, the Exhibitor Forums will be sharing space and coordinating with the HPC Impact Showcase to provide a consistent attendee experience with a focus on how HPC can transform industry and society.

Due to space constraints this year, there will be less than half the number of slots as last year. Therefore, presentations will be awarded based on technical merit. Click here for more information.

Submissions due: Monday, September 14 
Email Contact: exhibitor-forum@info.supercomputing.org  
Web Submissions: https://submissions.supercomputing.org/
