October 15, 2025 Program Invited Talks Registration Technical Program Share this page: Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Email By Cristin Merritt At SC25, the Invited Talks will highlight how high performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), and related technologies are driving progress across science, engineering, and industry. These sessions bring together leading experts to share their perspectives on how computing continues to ignite new possibilities and shape the future. This year’s program spans national strategies for computing competitiveness, the challenges of big data, and the role of HPC in creativity and research. Talks will feature advances in areas such as space exploration, real-time weather prediction, and AI-driven healthcare at scale—examples of how HPC ignites innovation in diverse domains. The Invited Talks provide an opportunity to see how HPC is being applied in both expected and unexpected ways, fueling discovery and new approaches across disciplines. They are included in the Technical Program registration (in-person and digital). Secure your badge to join these sessions and be part of the conversations shaping the next chapter of computing.
