Dear <<Salutation>> Reader,
Although summer seems far away, there are just four months left until the ISC’14 conference and exhibition. In this newsletter, we would like to share a few useful updates that might prove useful to our exhibitors and attendees.
Since the last newsletter, we interviewed Mr. André Kaldenhoff, Executive Director of the Leipzig Congress Center (CCL), who shared with us some of the details of the recent upgrades to the facility. Here’s what he had to say when asked what has changed since ISC’13 and what attendees should expect this time around:
We have analyzed the first event and also took a look at the aspects that were criticized by the attendees. For example, last year the ISC was held during an extreme heat wave, which meant that the rooms in the CCL were also very hot. For the upcoming ISC, the rooms will be adequately air-conditioned. To this end, we have rebuilt the entire air-conditioning system in the CCL. New units were installed in 14 rooms, and the capacity of the air-conditioning system was increased significantly.
Furthermore we also improved the media infrastructure.

NEW – Exhibitors Innovation Forum – Open for Participation
ISC’14 has created an appealing opportunity for first-time exhibitors to share the stories behind their product development and talk about any recent technical or commercial successes. Our goal is to bring the successful candidates face to face with users, collaborators and the media in a new format we’re calling the “Exhibitors Innovation Forum.â€
We encourage all first-time exhibitors to submit their application to participate in the forum by Sunday, March 30. This year we will be giving ten organizations the opportunity to share their story with the ISC attendees, so make your pitch and win a slot. Full details are available online.

ISC'14 Student Cluster Challenge Behind the Scenes – Featuring South Africa
Last year’s overall winner of the competition, the South African team, is working on strengthening its know-how and team spirit. This group of students recently visited one of the world’s fastest supercomputers, Stampede, thanks to its sponsor, Dell Foundation, and the team’s host, TACC. This bunch of dedicated youngsters will be traveling to Leipzig in June to participate in the competition that ISC co-organizes with the HPC Advisory Council.
If you're wondering how this team of first-timers rose to success so quickly, read the full story here.
