About OGF23

The global grid community will gather for Open Grid Forum's twenty-third
event in Barcelona, Spain on 2-6 June, 2008, strategically placed in easy
reach of many European & global experts. Hosted by the Barcelona
Supercomputing Center, OGF23 is also the first international event where the
recently EU-funded OGF-EUROPE project, will play a primary organizing role
in the overall event and the program. This project focuses on mobilizing and
integrating communities on grid standards & best practices. During a portion
of the week (3-5 June), the EU-funded BEinGRID project will be co-locating
its "Industry Days" event which includes results of their business
experiments using grid technologies. BEinGRID will also show numerous
demonstrations of grid deployments in various commercial environments. A
small commercial exhibition will also be an important part of this
multi-faceted event.
