HPC and AI at the Forefront of the 17th Swiss Conference
The 17th annual Swiss Conference unites the global HPC, AI, and emerging-technology community in Locarno, Switzerland, hosted by the HPC-AI Advisory Council and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS). It is a forum for industry leaders, innovative startups, and research pioneers to explore how next-generation compute and storage technologies are reshaping science, industry, and society.
This year expands the program’s scope with deeper focus on artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and digital twins as interconnected pillars driving the future of high-performance innovation. Technical sessions, workshops, and case studies will examine how these technologies converge, from AI-accelerated HPC workflows, to early quantum-hybrid computing models, to the use of large-scale digital twins for designing, validating, and optimizing new scientific and industrial infrastructures.
The conference opens with a dedicated tutorial day, followed by three days of keynotes, invited talks, panels, and interactive activities. Attendees will gain actionable insights across HPC, AI, quantum computing, digital-twin engineering, cloud architectures, containerized workflows, and more—equipping them for the next wave of breakthroughs and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
The full agenda of the meeting is available on the HPC-AI Advisory Council website.
Registration is required for all participants for all sessions which includes a nominal attendee fee charged in advance, a special group outing (attendance needs to be confirmed via the registration form), and daily break and lunch services. Register today and join us for knowledgeable evaluations, prescriptive best practices along with provocative and shared learnings.
We look forward to welcoming you in Locarno!
