2015
ISC High Performance (ISC 2015) attracted 2,846 attendees from 56 countries, as well as 153 companies and research organizations showcasing their technologies and services at the ISC exhibition.
The 2015 conference and the new location of Frankfurt were positively received by the attendees. Close to 70 percent of those surveyed found the city to be a convenient location and over 85 percent enjoyed the networking opportunities at the conference. Nearly 80 percent especially appreciated the content of the conference, as it was very relevant to their field of work.
