FMS26: the Future of Memory and Storage is open to all emerging storage and memory technology companies and applications.

Since our rebranding in 2024 to the Future of Memory and Storage, the show has expanded to include all the hottest technology in the space. And with the gold rush into AI, the show will continue to grow. Plus, it is the place where decision makers meet, with over a third of participants being from the executive suites.

Sponsors and Exhibitors can apply and compete for the coveted FMS26 BEST OF SHOW Awards. Over the years, these awards have been a prestigious recognition of top technologies and signify the best-in-class for the industry. They attract extensive media coverage. ONLY signed Sponsors/Exhibitors can compete.

We have another expanded show floor. The show floor has a variety of events, including a FMS Theater, Industry Receptions, Winners' Circle - FMS Awards Ceremony, and the highly sought-after End-of-Show Raffle (you never know who will show up to entertain)! This year, there will be a dedicated lunch hour from 12:00 to 1:00 Tuesday through Thursday.

Not on the show floor, but a signature event at FMS is our Beer and Pizza round tables, which take place after the show floor closes. This event is always a big hit and provides one-on-one interaction on a variety of industry topics and companies.

FMS attracts companies producing storage systems, subsystems, devices, and components and specialists in consumer electronics, computers, communications, test equipment, industrial and process control, and instrumentation. Several application groups working in AI and large OEMs are also joining FMS at all levels of participation.

FMS continues to attract a global audience, as well as exhibitors and sponsors from around the world.

Engage with the industry's ecosystem. Expand your brand visibility. Compete for awards. Grow your network, develop new relationships, and learn about the latest technologies and product offerings.
