OCP EMEA Summit 2026

The OCP EMEA Summit 2026, taking place in Barcelona, is one of the leading events for open, scalable, and sustainable data center infrastructure. The summit brings together global industry leaders, technology providers, and innovators to shape the future of digital infrastructure.

The Open Direct Current Alliance (ODCA) will be actively participating in this year’s event, contributing to the ongoing discussion on next-generation power architectures.

As part of the conference program, the Chairman of the ODCA Board will deliver a presentation titled:

“Next Gen AI Data Centers with Industry-Proven Direct Current Power Supply”

The session will show how industry‑proven direct current (DC) power architectures increase efficiency and reduce resource use in next‑generation AI data centers. Drawing on large‑scale DC deployments in industry, we show realized benefits such as lower energy losses and reduced copper needs. 800 V DC power distribution offers a scalable, standardized approach for future data centers. The Open Direct Current Alliance (ODCA) shares its latest achievements in harmonization, standardization, and contributions to OCP’s white‑paper efforts to accelerate open, interoperable DC ecosystems.
