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.
