Mr. Schneider is the Executive Director of The International Future Computing Association (http://www.tifca.com). TIFCA 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.  Its 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.

Future computing which TIFCA is based on is the practice of turning dreams into reality with computers and computer media.  Its fundamental pillars include compute performance & platforms, immersive technology, and innovative content and applications.

TIFCA's current focus is the Client-to-Cloud Revolution.  The client-to-cloud ecosystem is going through a revolution where cloud and independent platforms like PC, console, mobile, and other devices are developing new types of collaboration in distribution, and software and content execution. With the advent of 5G and other connectivity breakthroughs, devices of all sizes and abilities are expected to be enabled beyond the processing power they are built with.  TIFCA is fostering industry collaboration to make this Client-to-Cloud Revolution (#clienttocloudrevolution) both possible and effective on a global scale.

TIFCA's flagship conference is the International Future Computing Summit which was founded in 2014 under a different brand name and has been held annually ever since.

Mr. Schneider is also the founder of Meant to be Seen (mtbs3D.com).  MTBS was the launch point of the Oculus Rift and marks the spot where Oculus founders John Carmack and Palmer Luckey first met.  MTBS is also the home of the free open source Vireio Perception VR drivers and the GameGradeVR quality assurance mechanism.
