Welcome Address

Dear HPC Colleagues,

With unprecedented demand for last year’s ISC'08 in Dresden, a conference for 1375 of the most influential leaders in HPC, we have decided to prolong the conference program (+ 1 day) and to move: ISC’09 will take place June 23 - 26 in Hamburg, Germany.

This year's conference program is set to be the most illustrious in ISC history. The 4-day conference and trade show at the Congress Center Hamburg will provide you with a unique platform to learn, network and do business, all under one roof. With over 1,500 attendees and more than 120 exhibitors from over 45 countries expected to attend, ISC’09 is sure to be our biggest and best event yet.

But despite the considerable growth over the past few years, we still nurture what makes ISC so special: the feeling of community that adds a personal atmosphere to our gatherings..

Plan now to join us at ISC’09 – I look forward to seeing you in Hamburg!

Prof. Dr. Hans Werner Meuer
ISC General Chair
