OCP Global Summit 2026
About the Event
OCP Global Summit 2026 is the Open Compute Project's flagship annual gathering, held October 12 to 15 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. The summit convenes the open hardware and open infrastructure community: hyperscalers, cloud providers, OEMs and ODMs, silicon vendors, and data center operators aligned with OCP's reference designs for rack, power, cooling, networking, and server hardware.
The 2026 edition centers on AI-ready high-density infrastructure, with strong programming around GPU platform design, advanced liquid cooling, high-voltage DC distribution, and modular data center architectures.
