The International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) is Europe's most known conference in High Performance Computing, Networking and Storage. HPC industry leaders, computing and networking specialists, and scientists from around the world are meeting for four days to exchange their experiences and develop new ideas in this fast moving technology.

Over the past years the number of participants and exhibitors increased significantly, which means we had to increase our conference program and offer a wider range of professional sessions. Attendees have said that they enjoyed the elegance of the conference and its familiar atmosphere. ISC has earned a well-deserved reputation for its after-hour social events that epitomize "Gemütlichkeit".

As early as 1986, at the dawn of HPC time, Professor Hans Werner Meuer - then director of the computer center and professor for computer science at the University of Mannheim (Germany) - co-founded and organized the "Supercomputer Seminar". A forum given to people interested in HPC and to provide a platform for professional and personal exchanges of ideas and experiences. Since then, the ISC event has evolved over the years into the annual International Supercomputing Conference. Expert speakers, exhibitors, researchers, IT managers and students come from all over the world - thus providing a unique platform for connecting the HPC community on a global scale.
