We are thrilled to announce that Rosa M. Badia from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and John Shalf from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will jointly deliver the ISC 2024 Wednesday Keynote. A valuable addition to the keynote talk is the interactive moderation by Professor Daniel A. Reed, a long-standing member of the HPC community.

I had the opportunity to talk with Prof. Michela Taufer, the ISC 2024 Program Chair, to get an update on the event's progress. Prof. Taufer has been in this position for three months and has significantly contributed to the ISC technical program. I was impressed to learn that she has ensured all accepted ISC research papers are made fully open access in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

The ISC 2024 Calls are now open for global scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and government to contribute by presenting their work and discoveries to a community of over 3,000 attendees. The ISC conference and exhibition attracts technology enthusiasts interested in HPC, machine learning, and quantum computing.
