NVM Express holds its first all-member meeting

NVM Express, Inc., the organization that developed the NVM Express specification for accessing solid-state drives (SSDs) on a PCI Express (PCIe) bus, held its first members meeting on April 30 in San Jose. Capping a year of energetic growth and accomplishment since the group's incorporation, the successful event attracted more than 130 participants. Member company representatives came together in person to hear about what has been happening with NVM Express and what is planned for the future.

NVM Express working groups and committees met during the first part of the day, and the plenary session, with speakers from a number of member firms, took place in the afternoon. Both technical and marketing working groups discussed NVMe futures and roadmap planning for 2016. Afterwards, attendees were able to mix and mingle at a "Networking Mixer," where several NVM Express member companies demonstrated their products.

"We have all worked very hard this past year to build a foundation of success for NVM Express, and this members' meeting has been an opportunity for us both to look back at milestones reached and to look to the future, sharing plans and goals," said NVMe President Amber Huffman. "And, not incidentally, it was an excellent occasion for getting to know others in the NVMe community. We are already making plans to repeat this event."
