For us, this event is now the most interesting and the biggest storage-only show in the world even if only concentrated on solid-state storage products. Other large one, SNW Europe, on storage globally, attracted 72 exhibitors and 1,642 visitors on October 29-30 2013, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Next Flash Memory Summit is scheduled for August 11-13, 2015 at the same Santa Clara Convention Center.
