A couple of weeks ago was the RISC-V Global Forum. This was truly global, in that it started at midnight California time and ran for 18 hours until 8:00pm the following evening, with people presenting from their living rooms all over the world. Presentations were available for replay, so it’s not quite as insane as it sounds. The keynotes were grouped into three blocks, one to open the conference with a focus on Asia and Europe (where it was not the middle of the night), then a second one starting at 8:00am California time, and then finally a closing block focused on finance and investment the final evening.
