Past Symposium Events

The OCP Future Technologies Symposium team held an interactive experience: (Re)Designing Collaboration on Tuesday, October 6th, 2020 at 9 AM PDT. Attendees heard keynote presentations from people in academia and industry on lessons learned, effective remote collaboration and practices to respond to crisis. The event had three main objectives:   

1. Learn - to know how others are adopting and solving the crisis-related challenges

2. Inspire - to be aware of what are the existing solutions and models to apply in your organization

3. Collaborate - to understand how our Community members can cooperate to solve the future IT challenges together
