We are pleased to announce that we will be accepting poster proposals for consideration to the 14th annual virtual Oil & Gas High Performance Computing Conference.
The conference is the premier meeting place for the energy industry to engage in conversations about challenges and opportunities in high performance computing, computational science and engineering, machine learning, and data science. Attended by more than 500 leaders and experts from the energy industry, academia, national labs, and IT industry, this is a unique opportunity for key stakeholders to engage and network to help advance HPC in the energy industry.
Computation, data, and information technology continue to stand out across the energy industry as critical business enablers. Recent advances in machine learning, deep learning, robotics, and AI are emerging, and there is convergence between these emerging areas and HPC. With the end of Moore’s law, challenges are mounting around a rapidly changing technology landscape. However, the end of one era is also an opportunity for advancements and the beginning of a new era – a renaissance for system architectures highlights the need for investments in people (workforce), algorithms, software innovations, and hardware platforms to support system scalability and demands for increasing digitization across the energy sector.
Poster submissions are limited to graduate students and postdocs. While relevance to industry is a consideration, it should be interpreted very broadly. Keep in mind that the energy industry, IT industry, academia, and national laboratories participate in this conference. Please note, presenters will need to sign a Media Release form (see below for document).
Submissions should include:
- Title of poster
- 1-2 paragraph abstract
- Authors and affiliations
- Recorded 2-3 minute lightning presentation in MP4 format

Your recording will either be saved to your computer or stored in Zoom cloud for easy access. Click here for step by step instruction on how to record via Zoom.
- Email kenkennedy@rice.edu a shareable link to download your MP4 recording. Alternatively, you can request a link to upload your recorded lightning presentation to Rice Box.
- PDF of poster slides (4-5 slides recommended) emailed to kenkennedy@rice.edu.
Deadlines: Your poster title, abstract, and authors must be submitted for consideration no later than February 21st at 5:00 PM (CDT).
