About us
RISC-V Now! is the conference focused on turning RISC-V standards into products that ship — where spec goes to scale.
As AI workloads, power constraints, cost pressures, and long-term platform control reshape compute design, many organizations are reassessing CPU and SoC strategy. RISC-V Now! was created to address these challenges directly, bringing together practitioners to share real-world experience from systems that are shipping today.
Built for Deployment-Focused Teams
Designed to complement standards- or ecosystem-focused forums, RISC-V Now! is optimized for organizations moving from evaluation to production. The program emphasizes:
• System-level trade-offs in shipping AI and compute platforms
• CPU and SoC strategy under power, cost, and scaling constraints
• Software enablement challenges encountered in real deployments
• Lessons learned—what worked, what didn’t, and what teams wish they had known earlier
