Registration Is Open
It’s our first SC in St. Louis! Come see your friends and colleagues, explore incredible learning experiences in HPC, and walk the exhibit floor.
We understand there may be unforeseeable events related to COVID-19 that may impact attendee travel or on-site participation. If you are unable to come to St. Louis, consider attending SC remotely. We’re preparing a robust conference experience served through the SC21 HUBB.
Please review the steps below before registering. We look forward to seeing you on-site or online.
Step 1: Membership in ACM, IEEE, or SIGHPC
Receive a substantial discount on your registration with your ACM, IEEE, or SIGHPC membership. Members can save up to $400 over non-members by registering on or before October 15, 2021 for the in-person Technical Program. Members enjoy savings for remote participation as well.
