Since its inception, SC has established a tradition as the place for scientists, engineers, and managers to see the latest in products, services, and innovations in high performance computing, networking, storage and related disciplines, enabling them to return home with the tools they need to prepare their organizations for the future. This conference series has grown to now include researchers, software developers, policy makers, corporate managers, CIOs and IT administrators from universities, industry and government. Now more than ever, they need to operate as effectively as possible, managing their financial and professional resources to best serve their communities. There is no other event that provides the depth and interaction in a wide range of fields such as information architectures, data storage, analysis and visualization, optical networking, scalable computing, scientific applications and distributed systems. The SC|05 theme, Gateway to Discovery, ties the program components together and demonstrates how high performance computing, networking and storage touches all scientific disciplines, promotes interdisciplinary projects, affects the educational process through the use of computers in modeling and simulation in the classrooom, and solves heretofore unsolvable problems in biotechnology, weather research, astronomy, drug research, wearable sensors and many other applications. Exhibitor Contract   SC is a truly national and international event with over 85% of the attendees traveling over 500 miles to attend and 20% coming from outside the United States. SC attendees come to the exhibit floor ready to buy a wide range of products and services. Overall, 81% of the attendees have a buying influence (have the final say, specify the supplier or recommend the purchase) for products and services exhibited and 66% have planned purchases of over $100,000.
