OCP Presentation Acceptance Criteria:

Breakout Sessions

• Preferably discuss work done collaboratively within OCP Projects
• Must discuss work done in the open, not proprietary or containing confidential information
• Might discuss work that is adjacent to OCP Projects and relevant to OCP Community
• Should report on engineering or scientific results, must not be commercial
• Must be prepared to meet submission deadlines outlined below

In summary, work done by an individual organization outside of the OCP Community that is proprietary, is not usually appropriate for presentation in an OCP Breakout Session and will most likely be rejected.

Please note:

• The 2025 OCP APAC Summit is an in-person event only. Live streaming or remote presentation is not supported for this event.
• Acceptance of an Abstract does not guarantee a speaking engagement of any sort.
• OCP Foundation and Project Leadership will review qualified presentations and selections will be determined by content and relevance. The OCP Foundation may accept or reject any presentation in its sole discretion at any time. OCP will treat all information you provide in accordance with our privacy policy. Content should not be commercial in nature and should not be proprietary or contain confidential information.
• By submitting this abstract you are agreeing to the OCP event terms and conditions.

If you have any questions regarding speakers or sessions for the 2025 OCP APAC Summit, please contact Kate Hendle, Manager of Events, at kate@opencompute.org.

Representatives from the world’s leading organizations will spearhead speaker and content selection.
