November 5, 2026 Students Guided Interest Groups Students@SC Share this page: Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Email By Harshita Sahni, Lead Student Volunteers SC is a large conference with hundreds of workshops, research presentations, panel discussions, and Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions happening throughout the week. Whether you are attending for the first time or have been to SC before, it can be challenging to navigate the busy schedule and identify the sessions most relevant to your interests. Guided Interest Groups (GIGs) are designed to fix that. Each GIG is a small community of students who share an interest, led by experienced lead student volunteers who know SC well and are ready to share their experience. Choose From 8 GIGs Extreme-Scale Systems & Applications Humans & Data in HPC Increasing the Sustainability of HPC AI/ML Algorithms, Infrastructure & Computational Science Accelerators & Quantum Computing AI/ML Applications Performance Analysis & Portability SCinet & Advanced Research Networking Key Dates Sign-ups close: Thursday, Nov 12 GIGs Kickoff: Sunday, Nov 15 (pre-registration required) Sign Up!
