Just a couple weeks after MemCon, it's time yet for another memory focused event this week i.e. the Flash Memory Summit also happening in Santa Clara. My Colleague Mark Boslet and I will be at the show, so expect more coverage, videos and photos coming up soon.

Upon arriving at the show, I asked Lance Levanthal, the Flash Memory Summit conference chair how he would describe/position both competing memory-focused conferences:

"MemCon is about the memory market in general (DRAM, SRAM...), although it's focusing more and more on the Flash memory segment like our Summit. The other difference is that MemCon is more about products that presenting companies are selling more than the technologies, the issues, etc. I tend to think that at the Flash Memory Summit we go more in-depth through out tutorials, panles, etc. Finally, the Flash Memory Summit is an industry event and not just Denali's [the company organising Memcon] view of the market".
