The Second OPI Summit on DPU/IPUs will be co-located with the OCP Global summit, and will take place in October 2026. The OPI Summit is open to everyone involved in the design, development, integration, marketing, use, or support of DPU/IPUs, or related hardware, software, or services. The Second OPI Summit on DPU/IPUs seeks original, high-quality submissions that improve and further the knowledge of DPU/IPUs, with an emphasis on ease-of-use, PoC implementations, and experimental results. We are interested in systems of all scales, from small embedded devices to data centers and clouds.

The OCUDU Ecosystem Developer Summit brings together developers, telecom operators, and academic researchers to advance OCUDU, the carrier-grade, open-source 5G stack already powering real deployments. Attendees will connect with the community, contribute to the codebase, and help shape the reality of what's next for 5G and 6G.

OpenInfra Days North America is being jointly organized by the OpenInfra communities from the United States, Mexico, and Canada in support of the OpenInfra Foundation. Sessions will cover open source projects used to build data center infrastructure, including OpenStack, Kubernetes, Linux, Kata Containers, StarlingX, Ceph, and many more! We encourage involvement from open source users, contributors, and companies from these countries for a lively networking and community-building opportunity!

Over the past year the MCP project has quickly reshaped how developers are building AI agents, introducing a critical layer of standardization, and a blueprint for how LLMs can interface with applications and tools. The MCP Dev Summit will bring together MCP co-founders and contributors working on the future of MCP project with developers using it to build the next generation of AI agents. 

CHOOSE ONE (1) TRACK

OSS + ALS + ELC is an umbrella event for open source projects and developer communities to come together under one roof for important collaboration and education.

You will be asked to select the "track" in which you’d like to submit. Each proposal may be submitted to only one track, so please review all carefully before making your selection. We understand some proposals could potentially fit into multiple tracks. Don’t worry, our program chairs are working together to move proposals around as needed for additional review.

NO PRODUCT PITCHES PLEASE

Please be sure your submission focuses on open source embedded technologies and/or projects, not products specific to your company. We will not select any talks that look like product or vendor pitches.

OPEN SOURCE ONLY

As this is an open source event, talks submitted based on closed or proprietary systems will not be reviewed.

OCS is an event for Linux Foundation members and select invitees to discuss process management and automation related to open source license compliance, security assurance and adjacent subjects. This is the world’s foremost venue to discuss and network around these topics. Our goal is to ensure the global supply chain works effectively and efficiently.

For more than a decade, Open Networking & Edge Summit has served as the premier gathering for the open networking, edge, cloud, and IoT communities, convening technical and business leaders in a neutral, collaborative forum to shape the future of connected infrastructure.

As the industry enters a new era defined by agentic AI, edge intelligence, cloud-native automation, and API-driven ecosystems, open networking has never been more critical. Networks are evolving from static infrastructure into dynamic, programmable platforms capable of supporting new business models, real-time intelligence, and distributed workloads at global scale.

Hosted alongside Open Source Summit Japan, this year’s event reflects the global momentum behind open source collaboration and the massive transformation underway across communications, cloud, telecom, and enterprise industries. Technologies such as Kubernetes, AI, APIs, and disaggregated architectures are reshaping how networks are built, operated, automated, and monetized.

At the Summit, attendees will explore how open source ecosystems are enabling this shift, bringing together the latest technical innovation with the operational, business, and community strategies needed to turn possibility into production. Through in-depth discussions, real-world use cases, and collaborative planning, leaders will examine how open networking can power the next generation of cloud-native, intelligent, and edge-enabled infrastructure.

With content designed for communications, cloud, and telecom service providers, as well as enterprise verticals that depend on advanced networking across the core, access, and edge, Open Networking & Edge Summit equips attendees to leverage open source as a foundation for digital transformation, Industry 4.0, and the agentic and edge AI era.

CFP Tracks:

• Open & AI Native Networking & Edge
• AI Implications on Networks and Network Implications on Enterprise, Government & Verticals
• Edge AI & Data at the Edge
• Network Evolution: Open Source and the Path Forward

NO PRODUCT PITCHES PLEASE
Please be sure your submission focuses on open source embedded technologies and/or projects, not products specific to your company. We will not select any talks that look like product or vendor pitches.

Join key customers, project leads, and contributors that make up the gRPC ecosystem for a full day of talks, demos, case studies, and code labs. Experts will discuss real-world implementations of gRPC, best practices for developers, and topic expert deep dives. This is a must-attend event for those using gRPC in their applications today, as well as those considering gRPC for their enterprise microservices.

There will be ample time for meeting project leads, networking with peers, and Q+A.
