The 2027 OCP Canada Tech Day brings together keynotes, technical tracks, demonstrations, and networking across its main program day (Tuesday June 15), with a brief reception held the evening before (Monday, June 14).
Un événement incontournable au sujet de technologies ouvertes pour centres de données
This 2027 OCP Canada Tech Day will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and visionaries to share the latest advancements, forge new partnerships, and define the community developed standardizations that will power the AI-driven future. By embracing openness and inclusivity, OCP is not only meeting the needs of today’s AI transformation but also laying the foundation for a resilient and digital infrastructure.
OCP strives to ensure innovations in regions that are investing in emerging technologies such as Canada are included with the OCP Community for the benefit of all. In addition, the OCP’s mission is to also help companies promote their products globally, help Canadian vendors work with the right standards that are trusted by the data center ecosystem, which can be a large benefit to Canadian technology companies.
Join us at the 202 OCP Canada Tech Day to collaborate, innovate, and lead the future of data centers, especially when it comes to AI infrastructure and integration with Quantum technologies. This pivotal event will serve as a global nexus for driving innovation and fostering deep collaboration throughout the expansive technology ecosystem, recognizing the transformative power of artificial intelligence across all facets of modern life, charting the course for next-generation data centers.
