NCAR and CISL have a slate of activities planned for SC23 in Denver at the Colorado Convention Center, November 12-17, 2023. You can find us in Booth #1517, where we will feature presentations, opportunities to meet with CISL staff experts on a range of topics, and an in-booth reception to welcome CISL’s new director.

SC23 Booth Schedule

We have two planned opportunities to welcome Thomas Hauser in his new role as CISL Director. Come meet the director Monday evening during the opening gala from 8–8:30 p.m. and Tuesday afternoon from 3–4 p.m., when we’ll have a small in-booth reception with drinks and snacks. We’ll also have some popcorn and drinks Wednesday afternoon starting at 3 p.m. for students and SC23 Family Day. Everyone is welcome!

In addition to these activities, we will also feature a series of presentations on activities at NCAR and CISL, including our newest supercomputer, Derecho. CISL staff will also be on hand throughout the exhibition.
