The Practice and Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC) Conference 2024 is fast approaching, and we're thrilled to announce that Matt Smith, Manager of Research Systems for Advanced Research Computing (ARC), will be a plenary speaker at this annual event. In an interview with Matt, we had the opportunity to chat about his enthusiasm for participating as a keynote; the details about his presentation on building a successful research computing workforce; and what makes PEARC such an exceptional conference to attend (including how delicious the pizza will be in Providence, Rhode Island). At UBC IT, it’s always great to celebrate what sets us apart from other institutions and Matt’s animation about presenting at PEARC 2024 exemplifies this experience: “we love what we do, and we love where we work.”
