About OFC 2027
OFC 2027 takes place March 7–11 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with the exhibition running March 9–11 and overall attendance around 17,000. The program covers optical components, transceivers, data center interconnect and hyperscale networking.
Who should attend
The audience is optical component, transceiver, data center interconnect and hyperscale network architects, including the co-packaged optics community.
Why it matters
AI clusters are increasingly bounded by interconnect bandwidth, and OFC is where the optics carrying that traffic are demonstrated first. Progress in co-packaged optics and high-speed transceivers shown here directly affects how large GPU deployments can be built.
