Khronos Developer Feedback Session and Panel Discussion

feedback-logo-a2Here is your opportunity as developers to help drive the future development of the Khronos OpenCL related APIs.  During this special FREE Khronos Feedback Session you will have the opportunity to provide your input to key members of the Khronos specification working groups, fellow developers and a select group of OpenCL vendors.

Your contributions can relate directly to the detail of the latest draft specifications or you can share your thoughts on the wider issues relating to OpenCL, its eco-system and heterogeneous computing in general.  We encourage participation and look forward to some lively debates and friendly discussions!
