Perspectives from SC25: Communication, Connection, and UK Context in HPC and AI
This piece examines how influence in global HPC and AI is built not through visibility alone, but through sustained contribution and continuity. Drawing on long-term involvement with the Supercomputing Conference, it explores how communication shapes how UK capability is interpreted, offers a behind-the-scenes perspective on how strategic signals emerge, and explains why understanding them matters for long-term decision-making.
