Artificial Intelligence (AI) has placed unprecedented demands on data centers, with the growth of AI models pushing the limits of power consumption and scalability. To meet these challenges head-on, the AI Infra Summit 2025 will debut a new “AI Data Center” track, specifically designed to address the pressing infrastructure issues that come with scaling next-gen AI workloads.
Taking place from September 9-11, 2025, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, the AI Infra Summit promises to bring together some of the brightest minds in the data center and AI infrastructure industries. The event will feature thought leaders, executives, and innovators focused on tackling the unique challenges posed by AI, such as efficiency, scalability, and energy consumption.
Among the top executives who will lend their expertise to the AI Data Center track are:
- Mark Kidd, EVP & GM, Data Centers & Asset Lifecycle Management at Iron Mountain
- Richard Ho, Head of Hardware at OpenAI
- Raul Martynek, CEO of Databank
- Chris Crosby, CEO of Compass Data Centers
- Laura Ortman, CEO of Cologix
- Phill Lawson-Shanks, Chief Innovation Officer at Aligned Data Centers
- Jason Carolan, Chief Innovation Officer at Flexential
- François Sterin, COO at Data4
- Tom Traugott, SVP of Strategy at EdgeCore
- Michael Bahr, Head of Infrastructure, Data Center & Networking at DWR
These leaders will discuss the cutting-edge developments in infrastructure, hardware optimization, and energy efficiency that are required to support the massive computing power of next-generation AI models. As AI continues to scale exponentially, the industry must adapt quickly to meet these new demands.
“AI’s rapid growth is following Jevon’s paradox – the more computational power we unlock, the more demands are created,” said an event spokesperson. “Our AI Data Center track will provide the latest insights on optimizing data center design to meet these evolving AI needs while ensuring sustainability and cost-efficiency.”
The summit’s AI Data Center track will be a hub for exploring these challenges, offering real-world solutions and strategies to meet the unique requirements of AI-driven workloads. Key topics will include advancements in energy-efficient infrastructure, hardware improvements, and next-generation data center designs that prioritize scalability and sustainability.
The AI Infra Summit 2025 will also offer attendees the opportunity to engage in discussions around the future of AI infrastructure and its role in transforming industries across the globe. Those interested in attending can register, and use code DCP15 to receive a 15% discount on ticket prices.
The AI Infra Summit 2025 promises to be a landmark event, providing a critical platform for collaboration and innovation within the fast-evolving world of AI infrastructure.
