KEYNOTE: Power Paradigm Shift: How Texas is Leading The Charge in Powering Digital Infrastructure to Support the AI Roadmap
Nowhere is the intersection of energy, AI, and digital infrastructure more visible—or more critical—than in Texas. The Lone Star State has become both the proving ground and pressure cooker for balancing explosive data center growth with grid reliability and sustainability.
In this landmark keynote, Chris Crosby, CEO of Compass Data Centers, and Woody Rickerson, COO of ERCOT, will pull back the curtain on how strategic collaboration between data center operators and Texas’s grid authority is reshaping the future of power.
KEYNOTE: Arctic Advantage: Alaska's Emerging Data Center Frontier A Keynote Conversation with Governor Mike Dunleavy
Alaska presents a compelling and untapped opportunity for data center innovation. Join Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy as he unveils the state's strategic vision to become the next epicenter for sustainable, scalable, and AI-ready data center development.
KEYNOTE: Powering the AI Era with Future-Ready Data Centers
AI is rewriting the rules of digital infrastructure—and with it comes an anticipated surge in power demand. The question is no longer if we can scale AI, but how we do it without breaking the grid.
In this keynote, two visionary leaders at the intersection of technology and energy will share their thoughts on powering the AI revolution. David Holmes, Global Industries CTO & Energy Lead at Dell Technologies, and Michael McNamara, CEO of Lancium, will reveal how their organizations are redefining the future of data center efficiency and power. They’ll explore how Dell’s next-generation technology and Lancium’s gigawatt-scale clean energy campuses are enabling organizations to unleash the potential of AI.
KEYNOTE: How Energy is Changing New Site Selection
Dave Bell will provide an inside look at how power and permitting will shape U.S. data-center growth through 2030, why Texas’s fast approvals and low-cost gas win site selection, how to clear bottlenecks elsewhere, and when to embed behind-the-meter power (yours or your competitors’) to de-risk timelines.
