Putting It All Together: How Digital Infrastructure Supports Evolving Technology While Being A Responsible Community Member
As the growing need for cost-effective, efficient and sustainable digital infrastructure continues to surge, working with the communities it supports is more important than ever given the industry workforce support is limited and sustainability is front and center. How are operators looking for ways to further enhance their facilities, and reduce downtime and risk? How does it differ across new and existing facilities and across hyperscale, wholesale and colocation environments? And what are the best practices in order to support the grid, our resources and the communities we operate in?
8:55 AM - 9:25 AM
Advancements in Operational Design and Deployment for AI Data Centers: How To Integrate New Technologies Within Your Facilities
With AI being all the hype, yet still in the early phases of adoption, how are data center operators and engineers looking at integrating the right power and cooling technologies and infrastructure from the rack level up to the entire facility? How will it all connect together and how does that impact design?
9:25 AM - 9:55 AM
Round Table Discussion: AI In The Data Center: The Impact on Cooling and Power Design
With AI driving increased rack densities in the data center, how will designers address thermal runaway in the data center?

- Is air cooling still viable?

- Will we see a continued emergence of liquid cooling?

- How will operators protect these critical mechanical systems?

- How will designers provide power to the new massive gigawatt level requirements of the AI data center?

- Are traditional power protection technologies viable for the new electrical load profile of GPU chips?

10:20 AM - 11:00 AM
Higher Densities And Cooler Facilities: Enabling High Performance Compute Through Effective Rack Management And Cooling
Power rack densities are on their way up and creating a new definition of ‘average frequency.’ With that, what requirements will be needed to support these new architectures and AI apps with higher power? How are operators looking at air cooling to liquid immersion and everything in between?
11:00 AM - 11:35 AM
Disruptive Sustainability in Data Centers: From Concept to Reality
In this discussion, top data center and digital infrastructure leaders will challenge the industry on its current approach to sustainability, carbon offset, emission reduction and recycling goals. Hear insight on real-world challenges, while exploring opportunities and solutions to solve for these data center operations objectives.
Americase Critical Risk Solution
11:35 AM - 12:15 PM
A New Era of Power Demand: What Shift Will The Digital Infrastructure Face to Meet Growing Demand and AI Needs?
The industry faces a power problem and it’s only getting bigger. With the demand for AI inquiries and data centers continuing at a rapid pace, power will be the bottleneck to that growth. With that, how will the ecosystem need to fundamentally change to adapt to this new standard of compute? How are technologists and developers working to solve this imminent challenge?
