The 2024 Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP) Global Summit drew some 7,000 visitors, and its success was apparent at registration: long lines of people trying to get their badges, no nearby parking if you were coming by car, and a packed show floor keen to learn about the latest initiatives from OCP members and exhibitors.
