 Here you will find the preparation information, materials, and requirements to be part of the [Singularity](http://singularity.lbl.gov) labs at the [Intel HPC DevCon](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/events/hpcdevcon/overview.html) as part of Supercomputing 2016 ([click here to register for free](https://hpcdevcon.intel.com/register/devcon.aspx)).
 
-As you can see on the [agenda](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/events/hpcdevcon/agenda.html), there are two sessions dedicated to Singularity:
+## Overview
+Singularity is a container platform for scientific use cases enabling reproducible science, mobility of compute, and integration on traditional high performance computing resources. Singularity is installed on some of the largest systems in the world (near half million cores on TACC's Stampede and GSI's Center for Heavy Ion Research/Greencube) as well as other centers and midrange computing resources worldwide.
+
+These sessions and workshops will be given by the primary author and project lead of Singularity ([Gregory M. Kurtzer](http://gmkurtzer.github.io/), also known for founding Centos Linux and Warewulf).
