Never heard of him? Is he a CUDA programmer?

If you’ve had meetings with me this week (or provided key input for those meetings), it’s not you.

Unless it is 😁

Ha! I actually mentioned you in a conversation yesterday as someone who stubbornly refuses to give in to #1 and the whole boots thing.

Of course I have to make a suggestion for one good way to combine #2 and #3 - the renowned Microsoft+AMD SC reception on Tuesday night - places are limited - request your spot here:

Only one outside Europe?

And what is the why for each of those vs other choices?

Which convention hall is it? Chicago has a couple.

Yes all those (real) constraints - host cities are picked 5 years out by competitive process - but I think the community debate is asking the SC committee when evaluating bids to place a higher value on attendee experience and safety than seems to have been the case for some recent city selections.

In most SC cities, booking late leaves you with very limited hotel options - but not usually to the extent seen at STL this year.

The importance of being nearby also depends on the safety of the city and quality of the local transport infrastructure.

I book my hotel rooms in February each year - tho’ I have a high degree of confidence I will be going to SC most years.

But what about those who don’t find out they are even in with a chance of going until a few weeks before to SC?

There aren’t that many UK cities that can absorb 15000 hotel rooms for a week.
