The SONiC Foundation is excited to host the SONiC Workshop, co-located with the OCP Global Summit 2025, as well as an extended SONiC Workshop hosted by Google. These events bring together SONiC developers, users, and collaborators to explore technical advancements, real-world deployments, and community-driven innovation in open networking.

Why Attend?

Whether you’re contributing to SONiC or deploying it in production, both workshops offer unique opportunities to:

  • Participate in technical sessions and real-world use cases
  • Connect with peers and SONiC maintainers
  • Help shape the next phase of scalable, vendor-neutral open networking

The October 17 extended SONiC Workshop will feature deeper technical deep dives, roadmap discussions, and SONiC Technical Committee meetings—ideal for active contributors and maintainers looking to engage at a deeper technical level.
