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. The theme for 2025 is:

INTEGRATION

Unlocking New Modes of Scientific Discovery

by Integrating Data, AI, and Advanced Computing

Data serves as the cornerstone of progress in both traditional and AI-driven workflows. As emerging technologies become increasingly accessible and useful, they open exciting opportunities for integration to tackle complex challenges in data-driven science. This year’s MDC emphasizes the value of “integration” to unlock computational discovery–integration across facilities, integration between HPC, AI, and data-intensive workflows, integration into HPC of novel advanced computing technologies, such as quantum computing. Integrations like these can enable pioneering opportunities to seamlessly link observational and experimental data with HPC. MDC 2025 will provide a venue for researchers from DOE national laboratories and facilities, academia, and industry to engage in discussions that explore these transformative topics and chart the future of integrated research and technology. 

Topics will include: 

• Emerging data integration technologies

• AI models for scientific discovery

• Future of HPC facilities 

• Quantum computing and other emerging computing paradigms
