Join the IOWN Global Forum at the Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition 2027!
The IOWN Global Forum will participate in OFC 2027, taking place 7–11 March 2027 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California. The event brings together the global optical communications community to explore the technologies and solutions shaping the future of networking and connectivity.
Visit the Forum in Kentia Hall at Booth K-1119, where the Forum will showcase two demonstrations:
- Domain Fest with Open APN WX Canon
- Optically Accelerated AI Cluster
The Forum will share a booth with OpenROADM at Booth K-1218. View the booth location and OFC 2027 floor plan.
The Forum will also host a session, “IOWN Global Forum Presents Open Optical Circuit Switches for AI Infrastructure: From Use Cases to Multi-Vendor Demonstration through IOWN-OCP Collaboration,” on Tuesday, 9 March, from 10:30–11:30 AM in Expo Theater II. The session will highlight the Forum’s collaboration with OCP to advance Optical Circuit Switch (OCS)-based AI infrastructure, including practical use cases, a system-level reference implementation, an open standardized interface for OCS control, and multi-vendor interoperability demonstrated through live testing. View the session details.
The panel will share outcomes and lessons learned from this collaborative work, discuss technical and operational challenges, and explore how continued IOWN Global Forum-OCP collaboration can advance scalable, flexible, and energy-efficient AI infrastructure.
We look forward to connecting with the optical communications community at OFC 2027!
