ABOUT THE EVENT

MemCon is the first memory event focused on end users and systems.

MemCon empowers engineers and architects working on memory-constrained problems
with peer insights from case studies in genomics, AIML, datacenter, HPC,
computational fluid dynamics, in-memory databases, and enterprise knowledge
graphs. If you are working on a memory-bound problem, come and unpack it with
your peers, and get your hands on tech demos at the same time.

For memory systems designers, MemCon is a market deep-dive, a launchpad for CXL
and emerging memory products, and a one-stop shop to meet enterprise data
experts.

Starting with datacenters and servers in 2023, MemCon will tackle memory-bound
use cases in modern and future computing. Working back from the end point – what
do future systems need to look like? - the conference will focus on the
intersection between systems design, memory innovation (emerging memories,
storage & CXL) and other enabling technologies, such as photonics.

 * Come and collaborate on solving memory-bound use cases. 
 * Beat systems bottlenecks with insights from systems architects and memory
   experts. 
 * Witness industry-defining emerging memory and CXL product launches. 
 * Keep your memory product development on target with market feedback.
 * Join a network of systems and AIML experts, plus end users.

Since then, Bill specialized in the computer memory technology arena, getting

key part of computer systems. As a chairman of the JEDEC standards organization,
he has had a role in paving the memory industry roadmap, and contributed to
spreading these standards to the world including engagement with foreign
governments. Bill is a public speaker in this niche, generating both excitement
and controversy with his aggressive vision for change and progress.

Bill is an incurable practical joker who thrives on making people laugh (or
periodically grimace), and his years in the nascent computer industry are polka
dotted with gags on unsuspecting co-workers. Bill’s eclectic background also
includes years as a published food critic, and fortunately even more years as an
aerobics fitness instructor, apparently to burn off the calories consumed while
reviewing restaurants. He lives with his wife in Orange County, California.

Bill makes the best coffee in the world, in case you wondered.
