Open Compute Project Collaboration
Advancing the Future of AI Infrastructure Together
Digital Infrastructure World is proud to collaborate with the Open Compute Project (OCP) to connect the engineers, architects, operators, builders, and technology leaders shaping the future of AI infrastructure.
Together, we’re creating a platform where technical innovation, open collaboration, and industry leadership come together to accelerate the next generation of digital infrastructure.
Why This Collaboration Matters
The AI era has fundamentally changed digital infrastructure.
Infrastructure decisions that once happened independently now require collaboration across silicon, systems, networking, power, cooling, facilities, software, and operations.
No single organization—or event—can solve these challenges alone.
Digital Infrastructure World and the Open Compute Project share a commitment to bringing the industry together to accelerate innovation through technical collaboration, shared knowledge, and real-world implementation.
A Shared Vision for AI Infrastructure
AI is driving unprecedented demand for compute capacity, energy, networking, and infrastructure innovation.
The industry needs greater collaboration between technology developers, infrastructure providers, operators, enterprise organizations, and engineering communities.
The most open data center in the world: designed as one
Brought together by the two category-leading communities: Open Compute Project (IT Equipment) and Closerstill Media Data Centre World (DC Facilities).
One event to converge the IT and DC ecosystems through extreme co-design. Shaped by 100+ interviews and 700+ survey responses across both sides of the seam.

The Opportunity
By bringing together the AI infrastructure ecosystem in one place, Digital Infrastructure World creates opportunities to:
- Share technical expertise
- Accelerate infrastructure innovation
- Foster industry collaboration
- Connect engineering communities
- Advance best practices
- Build stronger partnerships
Pack a rack with AI chips and the basics get stretched
- Heat outpaces what air alone can remove
- Power outgrows the standard feed
- Weight forces the hall layout to change
The answers arrive fast, accelerated by open innovation
- Liquid joins air for the densest racks
- Power moves to higher voltage
- Halls get redesigned around the weight
Design and supply as one, to deploy at speed and scale
- Each answer is part rack, part building
- It only works if both sides co-develop it
- It only scales when the supply chains line up
The Collaboration
Through our collaboration with the Open Compute Project, Digital Infrastructure World will support technical dialogue, community engagement, and educational programming that reflects the priorities of today’s AI infrastructure community.
While IT and DC technologies are converging, the events serving them have been slower to move.
Until now: Digital Infrastructure World
Existing events generally split cleanly into IT Equipment or DC Facilities
DESIGNED AS ONE
One event across the seam where IT equipment meets DC facility.
