Thank you for attending the 2026 OCP Global Summit!
The 2026 OCP Global Summit brought 15,000 attendees to San Jose, California, October 12–15 — a 38% increase over the 10,835 who attended in 2025. With a sold out event, it was the largest Global Summit in the Open Compute Project’s history.
The event theme for OCP Global Summit 2026, “Scaling Innovation for the AI Era”, highlighted the unique perspective of the OCP Community that has been pervasive throughout its 15-year history: computing at very large scale. Delivering the data center and computational infrastructure for AI is simply an extension of computing at scale that the OCP Community already solves for Cloud data centers. Thus, the OCP Community’s model of collaboration to drive openness, efficiency, sustainability, scalability and impact will again be central to meeting the new challenges of extending data centre facilities and computational systems needed to handle massively parallel and distributed AI computations at a scale that have never before been imagined.
The OCP Summit is the premier event uniting the most forward-thinking minds in open IT Ecosystem development. The Summit presents a unique platform for our Community from around the globe to share their insights, foster partnerships and showcase cutting-edge advancements in open hardware and software.
At the 2026 Global Summit, industry leaders, researchers and pioneers from the open community engaged in dynamic dialogues, enlightening workshops, and interactive engineering sessions. These activities are designed to expand our understanding of the progress that our Projects have made as well as the challenges and road ahead. Participants explored emerging trends, tackled complex challenges and discovered new opportunities to drive global innovation. Through this collaborative spirit, we aim to accelerate the development of efficient, scalable, and sustainable open compute solutions that power the future of technology.
