Industry & Innovation Partnerships at IPDPS
IPDPS is a leading international symposium focused on advancing parallel and distributed computing technologies. Each year, over 600 experts from academia, national labs, and industry converge to share cutting-edge research, foster collaboration, and explore new technology frontiers. This makes IPDPS an ideal platform for industry partners to engage directly with technical decision-makers, researchers, and the next generation of talent.
Industry participation is designed to be flexible and customized, empowering companies to tailor their engagement to match strategic goals—whether that be showcasing innovations, networking with peers, recruiting top PhD talent, or influencing emerging research directions. This partnership is not transactional sponsorship; rather, it is a collaborative alliance that benefits both the IPDPS community and industry players.
Through exhibits, technical sessions, tutorials, and student engagement activities, partners gain measurable visibility and technical credibility within this specialized and influential ecosystem. IPDPS also leverages its reputation as an IEEE flagship event to extend partner impact globally via digital proceedings and ongoing community connections.
High-impact benefits include:
- Access to a concentrated global network of parallel and distributed systems experts, from research scientists to industry architects and PhD candidates.
- Multiple channels for technical interaction, brand visibility, and talent engagement across a five-day event supported by workshops and student forums.
