About CIUK 2026
Computing Insight UK runs December 3–4, 2026 at the Manchester Central Convention Complex, with 400–600 attendees and roughly 50 HPC vendors exhibiting. The two-day Thursday–Friday program covers UK research computing, HPC systems and data infrastructure.
Who should attend
Attendees include staff from UK HPC centers and university research computing groups, STFC and DiRAC, and HPC vendors.
Why it matters
CIUK is the most concentrated annual gathering of the UK research computing community, covering system procurement, storage and the practical operation of national and campus facilities. Its modest scale keeps the discussion technical and close to the people running the systems.
