Digital Infrastructure World (DIW) 2027 is the AI infrastructure conference and exhibition held in collaboration with the Open Compute Project (OCP). It brings together the teams designing the rack and the teams building the data center: silicon, systems, networking, power, cooling and data centers, designed as one. It is organized by CloserStill Media, the organizer of Data Centre World and Ai4.

February 3–4, 2027, at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, 150 W San Carlos St, San Jose, California, in Silicon Valley.

Most events cover either IT hardware or data center facilities. As racks head toward 1MW and campuses toward gigawatts, the two have to be designed together. DIW puts both communities in one room: the Open Compute Project leads the rack programme (OCP Tech Day), and CloserStill Media, the organizer of Data Centre World, brings the data center, power and energy community. About DIW

Around 2.5K attendees from 500 companies: hyperscalers, neoclouds and GPU clouds, frontier AI labs, colocation and wholesale data center operators, enterprise IT, telcos, government and national labs, developers and investors, utilities and energy developers, and engineering and construction firms. Who attends

Mainstage keynotes on Open Systems for AI, then four tracks from the rack to the grid: Rack (OCP Tech Day, designing the 1MW rack), Cluster (AI clusters and networking), Data Center (building 1GW AI data centers, power and cooling) and Energy (power for AI campuses). Conference tracks

The Open Compute Project programmes the Rack track (OCP Tech Day) and the Open Systems for AI keynotes. The CloserStill Media content team programmes the Cluster, Data Center and Energy tracks with engineers and operators from across the industry.

OCP Tech Day is the Open Compute Project event in San Jose on February 3-4, 2027, held at Digital Infrastructure World. OCP programmes the Rack track, opens all four tracks with OCP track keynotes on day 1 and programmes the day 1 Open Systems for AI keynotes. OCP members register at a dedicated member rate. See OCP at DIW 2027.

The OCP Global Summit is the Open Compute Project's own annual event: October 12-15, 2026 in San Jose, and October 4-7, 2027 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco. Digital Infrastructure World is a separate February event in San Jose, run by CloserStill Media in collaboration with OCP, that puts OCP Tech Day alongside the Cluster, Data Center and Energy tracks.
