Joining Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) is an opportunity to be at the forefront of AI and HPC networking  and collaborate with industry leaders and experts.

Membership is open to any legally incorporated organization that completes the Questionnaire and Membership Agreement. Organizations must be able to comply with UEC, Joint Development Foundation, and Linux Foundation Policies. To apply for UEC membership, please follow these simple steps:


Step 1: Complete the UEC Membership Questionnaire

To initiate your membership application, complete the UEC Membership Questionnaire. This document helps us understand your organization’s interest in UEC and gathers information we need to process your membership. Please do not share confidential information. 

After you submit your completed questionnaire, please allow up to 2 weeks for review by program management and the UEC Steering Committee. If necessary, a member of our program management team will reach out via email with any questions or clarifications. 

To expedite this process, please complete the questionnaire in its entirety, and respond promptly to any questions from UEC staff. Incomplete questionnaires and questionnaires with open questions will not be processed.

 

Step 2: Review and Complete the UEC Membership Agreement Package

Once your questionnaire has been reviewed and accepted, you will receive a link via email to execute the UEC Membership Agreement. A copy of this document is available here: UEC Membership Agreement (Example – Not for Signature).

 Please review this document with your organization’s legal and business stakeholders. Any questions about the document should be emailed to operations@ultraethernet.org. Please note that redlines are not accepted.


Membership Levels and Benefits:

At UEC, we offer two distinct membership levels, each with its own benefits. To learn more about the advantages of General and Contributor memberships, please refer to the Membership Benefits Matrix above. The PowerPoint presentation provides further technical details about UEC.

We believe that your participation in UEC will be mutually beneficial, fostering innovation and collaboration in the field of AI and HPC networking.

If you have any questions or require assistance during the application process, please do not hesitate to contact our Membership Support Team membership@ultraethernet.org.

We look forward to welcoming you as a member of the Ultra Ethernet Consortium and embarking on this journey of innovation together.
