The International Future Computing Association is a network of member companies and institutions that each play a part in what are, and will be, the ultimate tools and experiences that impact our daily lives using computer technology and media.
TIFCA’s mission is to lay down the groundwork and enhance the viability of enabling what’s next. We achieve this through influential membership meetings, stakeholder education, market-building events, special initiatives, and more.
TIFCA is comprised of three pillar groups that include the Alliance of Computing Technologists, the Immersive Technology Alliance, and the Alliance of Content Creators. It is purposely structured this way because even though each division has its own purpose and industry space, the pillars are interrelated in that each success helps drive the other.

Dominique Pouliquen
CEO
Cintoo
The Client-to-Cloud Revolution is about much more than being able to access your data any place and on any device. It’s also about being able to do things that were otherwise impossible. A big challenge that engineers and architecture professionals need to overcome is figuring out how to make changes or do repairs with existing buildings and structures. There are laser scanners that can collect the necessary data, but this is terabytes and terabytes of information that is difficult to work with and distribute.
Cintoo converts this data in the cloud to something that is a lot more manageable and workable so that architecture professionals can easily get the information they need to do whatever needs to get done with all kinds of information that was previously very challenging to work with.
Dominique Pouliquen, CEO of Cintoo, will discuss their unique problem-solving client-to-cloud efforts and give an on-stage demo of how their system works.
The International Future Computing Summit runs November 5-6, 2019 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. Additional speakers are being regularly added. Register today as space is limited!
