The Teratec Forum 2020 goes digital!

Like every year, the Teratec Forum proves to be the main event for our association as well as for the HPC, Simulation, Big Data and AI Community in France and Europe. Regularly planned in June at Ecole Polytechnique, we decided last spring to postpone the Forum 2020 to October 13 and 14, due to the circumstances generated by the COVID-19 pandemic and decisions taken by the governments of the countries from which the exhibitors, speakers and participants are coming.

The evolution of the pandemic that we are experiencing today does not provide all required serenity for visitors whose movements are still very restricted to get together in October. As current events have shown yet, it is more than ever essential to maintain this annual meeting of the Simulation, HPC, Big Data and AI community. While preserving the essence of our program and its various components, we have thus decided to transform the Teratec Forum 2020 into a 100% Digital event to be held on the same planned dates, next October 13 and 14.

The "Teratec Digital Forum 2020" will enable our "virtual" visitors to keep informed of the latest major advances in HPC and its uses through a plenary session with our "great guests" expressing their message in recorded video speech and one Roundtable gathering our major sponsors. Six technical and applications workshops run in a row will allow everyone to attend and benefit from all those meetings. Many grand Simulation projects have been carried out over the past year, so that the Simulation Awards ceremony highlighting this Teratec Digital Forum 2020 will make it possible to distinguish the most exceptional. The digital format of the Forum 2020 will also come with a virtual exposure providing exhibitors with a secure and personalized space equipped with numerous communication tools to run live meetings arranged by videoconference for business and participants.

We are convinced that this virtual experience will meet everyone’s expectation, making a significant contribution to economic recovery and stressing all possible uses and developments offered by HPC, Simulation, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence.

Join us all to participate in this original version of the Teratec Forum, and I will meet you on Tuesday, October 13 in the morning.
