25 Countries and 320 Exhibits: Christine Cuicchi Gives a Q&A on SC14 Exhibits

The SC Exhibit Floor is the only event that balances corporate exhibits with a showcase for innovative applications in HPC, networking, and storage from research institutions, universities, national laboratories, and nonprofit research centers on five continents. In addition, scientists and engineers display the latest advances in computational modeling, imaging, visual analysis, and data technologies, often partnering with industry exhibitors to showcase how particular products can achieve new research discoveries. SC is truly a unique venue where industry meets research. This year we have 185 industry exhibits and 135 research exhibits registered for booth space, spanning 25 countries-all on the SC14 Exhibitors List to help you plan your visit!
Another key event of the SC Exhibits is the Exhibitor Forum, which offers an opportunity to learn about the latest advances in the supercomputing marketplace. Manufacturers, vendors and HPC service providers will present new products, services and roadmaps. Industry leaders will share their insights into customer needs, market drivers, product strategies and technology trends. Case studies will illustrate how their current and future solutions can be used effectively. It's an exciting part of the Exhibits program!
Also, submissions for the Exhibitor Forum are still open! We're inviting companies to bring their great ideas and submit a proposal to wow the HPC attendees. Submissions are still being taken until Monday, October 6, 2014 at https://submissions.supercomputing.org.
The Exhibits program is growing and we are excited to see what this year brings!
