The Monterey Data Conference is an annual invitation-only meeting in Monterey which brings together researchers from DOE national laboratories, facilities, universities, and industry to showcase and discuss the latest advances and open challenges in scientific data analysis and computing.
Acceleration
Accelerating Scientific Discovery by leveraging an integrated scientific computing platform for
Data, AI, and Advanced computing
The Genesis Mission will develop an integrated platform that connects the world's best supercomputers, experimental facilities, AI systems, and unique datasets across every major scientific domain. The success of this through ongoing initiatives such as the American Science Cloud (AmSC) and the Transformational AI Models Consortium (MonCon) depends on concerted advances in AI approaches, data handling techniques, cutting-edge hardware, and state-of-the-art workflow orchestration. MDC 2026 will provide a forum for researchers from DOE national laboratories and facilities, academia, and industry to share how advanced computing approaches, including quantum computing, are being integrated into user workflows to open new pathways for scientific discovery.
Topics will include:
Building and exploiting integrated computing platforms
Agentic AI and Reasoning based scientific discovery
Scientific AI foundation models
Classical-Quantum and Quantum-AI applications
Quantum supercomputing
