Flash Memory Summit Description
The Flash Memory Summit program is designed to provide attendees with practical information on the
current state of flash memory and its applications.
Summit themes will include: Solid State Drives (SSDs), Flash Controllers, Flash-Based Architectures, and
New Technologies.
The Summit Program consists of a day of pre-conference seminars followed by three days of keynotes,
forums, panel discussions, paper sessions, tutorials, and special sessions.
Flash Memory Defined
Flash Memory is a type of nonvolatile memory that can be erased in blocks and rewritten in subunits
of blocks called pages. Flash is rugged, small, low-cost, low-power, and fast; it enables the design
of compact systems with simple operation and low power consumption. It is ideal for consumer
applications such as cell phones, digital cameras and camcorders, and music players, and is also useful
to store bootstrap code and as high-speed storage in computers, communications systems, and
military/defense applications. It can replace hard disks for storage in applications where its higher cost
is balanced by its faster speed, smaller size, greater ruggedness, and lower power consumption.
Audience Profile
Flash Memory Summit attracts attendees from companies producing storage systems and subsystems,
devices, and components for them. Attendees also come from companies specializing in consumer
electronics, computers, communications, military/defense systems, test equipment, industrial and
process control, and instrumentation, as well as their partners and suppliers. They attend Flash
Memory Summit to develop new business relationships, address new business needs, hear about the
latest technologies, and familiarize themselves with current products.
