FMS 2025: AI Takes Center Stage
Over 60% of keynotes and panels to feature AI innovation
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on August 4, 2025 at 2:02 pmFMS: the Future of Memory and Storage, the industry’s premier event for next-gen memory and storage technologies, is spotlighting the AI revolution like never before.
Taking place August 5–7 in the heart of Silicon Valley at the Santa Clara Convention Center, CA, FMS 2025 will feature AI in more than 60% of its keynote presentations and expert panel sessions, underscoring the transformative role memory and storage play in accelerating AI development and deployment.
With AI now driving demand for faster, more efficient data infrastructure, FMS has curated a robust lineup of sessions that explore how innovations in DRAM, NAND, CXL, and computational storage are reshaping AI inference and training at scale.
“Artificial intelligence is no longer just part of the conversation – it is the conversation,” said Tom Coughlin, conference chair, FMS. “From hardware optimization to real-time data processing, AI is influencing every aspect of the memory and storage ecosystem. FMS 2025 brings the brightest minds together to explore what’s next.”
Highlights of FMS 2025’s AI programming include:
-
Executive AI Panel – Memory and Storage Scaling for AI Inferencing (August 7, 11:00 AM): Industry leaders from NVIDIA, KIOXIA, IBM, VAST Data, and SK Hynix discuss how they are pushing the limits of compute and memory bandwidth for the AI workloads of tomorrow.
-
Professional Development Series (PDS) Seminars on AI-Centric Architecture – Including Processing-in/near-Memory, AI accelerators, and memory-centric computing, taught by top academics and industry engineers.
-
Sessions: Nine dedicated AI sessions, 3 PDS tutorials featuring AI, and 14 additional sessions addressing AI optimization through new interconnects, storage hierarchies, and system architectures.
-
Exhibits – Showcasing emerging companies building foundational AI hardware and software with breakthrough approaches to memory and storage.
Speakers and panelists from companies such as FADU, KIOXIA, Micron, Samsung, Silicon Motion, SK Hynix, KOVE, MaxLinear, Neo Semiconductor, Sandisk, Verge.io and more will provide insight into how they are adapting architectures to handle ever-larger AI models and inference tasks across cloud, edge, and embedded systems.
“AI is shaping the future – and memory and storage are the foundation,” added Coughlin. “FMS is the place where the entire ecosystem meets to solve these challenges head-on.“
