According to Chuck Sobey, virtual FMS conference chair, “FMS offers many sessions that look beyond immediate problems and give attendees a view of issues they will encounter down the road. They also look at exciting new application areas such as spaceflight computing and data-centric architectures, as well as changes in current and emerging nonvolatile technologies and totally new approaches such as DNA storage. They will prepare attendees to plan beyond the usual 1 or 2 year horizons.”

FMS features the latest technology trends, amazing products, and a broad coverage in this rapidly expanding market.

In 2019, the event drew over 6,000 registrants and over 120 exhibitors.

The conference also features marketing and market research sessions, and sessions sponsored by NVM Express, SNIA, and TechTarget. Popular continuing features include annual updates and a panel on Top Ten Things You Need to Know about Flash Memory Today.
