The International Future Computing Association (TIFCA) is where the computing ecosystem collaborates on challenges that no single company can overcome on its own. The industry is heading towards cloud-enhanced client devices like PC, console, mobile, and immersive technologies. Early successes include cloud gaming, software as a service (SaaS), and 5G immersive streaming. TIFCA wants to enhance and scale further through a collaborative client-cloud ecosystem and a create-once, reach-all ability for application and content developers alike. This journey is called the Client-to-Cloud Revolution.

C-Level Research Results

After TIFCA’s inaugural International Future Computing Summit last November, it completed an exhaustive C-level executive questionnaire. Findings are published on clienttocloud.net with additional support documents and presentations. TIFCA has been holding weekly meetings since.

Call for 2020 Speakers

The International Future Computing Summit delivers a unique cross-section of leadership in compute performance and platforms, immersive technology, and innovative content and applications. Scheduled for November 16-17, 2020 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, the agenda focuses on future computing and the Client-to-Cloud Revolution. Call for speakers and sponsors are open, and early bird tickets are on sale at http://www.ifcsummit.com.

The next era in computing will change how we all can live, learn, work and play in 3D. Believing in their vision for the next computing era, we have joined TIFCA to help build the ecosystem to make it happen,” said Bruce Grove, Polystream CEO and Co-Founder.
