The AMD Fusion¹² Developer Summit (AFDS) is a three-day summit that brings together leaders from across the industry for presentations, training, and collaboration on heterogeneous computing, OpenCL™, OpenGL, DirectCompute, and C++ AMP.

AFDS is held on June 11-14, 2012 in Bellevue, Washington, at the Meydenbauer Convention Center and the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.

More than 700 technologists from across the industry participated in the inaugural AFDS. This year, nearly 1,000 are expected from around the world. Representatives from the software and hardware community will be here. Software developers, hardware architects, ISVs, OSVs, middleware vendors, programmers, multimedia professionals, coders, project managers, academics, senior AMD leaders, and members of the global media come to learn, plan, and collaborate.

Heterogeneous computing is rapidly being adopted by every corner of the technology industry. Attend AFDS to help enhance your current skills and learn new skills that can impact your projects today—and help you take better advantage of this new paradigm in the future. You’ll get the latest news about trends and industry developments, including insight into where AMD and other top technology companies are putting their focus. Plus, AFDS provides a great opportunity to forge and grow relationships that will enable you to lead, rather than follow, the market.

Through powerful keynotes, detailed breakout sessions, and hands-on labs, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how to tap into the features of CPUs and GPUs to help accelerate your applications, plus how to best leverage the newest APUs.

You’ll interact with other pioneers and experts who are helping to advance heterogeneous computing, and learn about technologies they are employing. And you’ll leave the Summit knowing you’ve contributed to the growth of an academic and professional community based on open standards.

After these three days, you’ll have formed lasting connections and be better prepared to recommend heterogeneous computing implementations for your company or project.
