OCP Global Summit Showcase

The Open Compute Project held its OCP Global Summit at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center from October 12th to 15th, 2026, under the theme “Scaling Innovation for the AI Era.” The event reached its 15,000-person capacity, with a 3,000-person waiting list; to handle future capacity, 2027 moves to Moscone Center under contracts through 2030. This year's summit had 22 tracks, nearly 600 sessions, and about 950 speakers.

OCP's mission is unchanged: taking hyperscale innovation to all, guided by openness, efficiency, sustainability, impact, and scale. What's growing is the scope — from the data hall to the full AI infrastructure stack, spanning silicon diversity, chiplets, facilities, energy, and the AI computing continuum from hyperscale data centers to regional and smaller sites. Looking to 2027 and beyond, OCP is launching three initiatives: system technology co-optimization for silicon design, modular interfaces that reduce grid-to-chip redesign, and solutions for smaller racks under 100 kilowatts.

Jim Carroll of Converge Digest and Roy Chua of AvidThink were onsite gathering video interviews with speakers, vendors, and community leaders. We appreciate our multi-year partnership with OCP and thank them for letting us capture video. We're still gathering and editing interviews from the show, and we'll post new videos here as they're ready — check back for more.
