Arnold The countdown to SC23 is nearing its final moments, and I couldn’t be more delighted to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you. SC23 holds a special place in my heart, as it represents more than just an event; it’s an opportunity to give back to a community that has played a pivotal role in my professional journey and personal growth. The essence of SC23 is beautifully encapsulated in this year’s tagline: “I Am HPC.” This theme embodies our unwavering commitment to celebrating and championing all facets of High-Performance Computing. This encompasses not only the field itself and its profound contributions to society but, most importantly, the exceptional individuals who drive its progress – whether they are seasoned HPC veterans or enthusiastic newcomers. As we return to the vibrant city of Denver for the fifth time, we find ourselves on familiar ground while simultaneously venturing into new and exciting frontiers. The world of HPC continues to evolve, offering groundbreaking algorithmic, storage, networking, and analytical capabilities at scales that were once unimaginable. While certain aspects of SC23 may feel familiar, the conference is also poised to introduce fresh experiences that are sure to inspire and captivate. At the heart of “I Am HPC” lies each and every one of you, and our mission for SC23 is to make you feel right at home. This year, we are committed to fostering a sense of Belonging, achieved through carefully designed programs that ensure everyone feels valued and included, regardless of their background or expertise. I’m excited to share that registration for both the in-person and digital experiences is still open! This offers you the flexibility to choose the format that best suits your needs and circumstances. Our in-person experience is carefully curated to emphasize the unique, interactive, and interpersonal aspects of physical gatherings. Simultaneously, our Virtual Logistics team is dedicated to ensuring that the Digital Experience is inclusive and accessible to all, seamlessly connecting those who can join us in person with those participating online. In closing, I want to express my sincere gratitude for embarking on this exciting journey with us. SC23 promises to be a celebration of knowledge, inclusivity, and the spirit of “I Am HPC.” We eagerly await the opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate with all of you in Denver. Dorian C.
