-- Amid Growing Global Health Concerns OCP Moves Summit Online Week of May 11th

The Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP) (https://www.opencompute.org ), a 
collaborative community focused on redesigning hardware technology to 
efficiently support the growing demands on compute infrastructure, announces 
today its plans to reschedule the 2020 OCP Global Summit as a virtual event 
taking place the week of May 11th. The decision comes after the growing global 
health crisis surrounding COVID-19 and associated travel restrictions. By going 
virtual, OCP ensures its attendees, exhibitors and sponsors can still reap the 
benefits of the Summit without potentially putting their health at risk.

The OCP Virtual Global Summit will be a rich, interactive experience that can 
be accessed from anywhere in the world while incorporating all the key 
components of the Global Summit, including keynote sessions, executive tracks, 
an Expo Hall with Expo Hall talks, Engineering Workshops, the OCP Experience 
Center and the OCP Future Technologies Symposium. This format will allow us to 
reach a larger audience, with increased functionality for Q&A, panel 
discussions, live chat and one-on-one connections with key constituencies that 
you expect from the Summit.

"Our decision to reschedule the Global Summit as a virtual event was not one 
made lightly," comments Bill Carter, Chief Technology Officer at the Open 
Compute Project Foundation. "Ultimately, we decided it is the best decision for 
our community, and will allow all of the important networking and education 
that would have occurred onsite, in a much more convenient and safer 
environment. We are excited that we will be able to capitalize on the hard work 
our Members and Community leaders put into this event and continue to carry 
forward our mission."

OCP will allow sponsors to apply their commitments to this event, with no 
additional costs, and the organization will bear the incremental expenses for 
creating this event.
