Secure Early Visibility On Gas, Grid, And Cooling Pathways For Project Management Success

While the event will explore the needs of existing facilities, its major focus is on the vast pipeline of unbuilt AI-scale data center sites. 

Many of the largest ai-scale construction projects are still in motion—navigating grid interconnect approvals, negotiating gas supply agreements, and securing water permits. The outcome of these processes will determine whether the AI expansion wave accelerates or stalls.

The conference will directly address how developers can align financing, permitting, and technology selection to avoid bottlenecks before construction even begins.

How the conference will help:

• Demystify the bottlenecks: Learn from utilities, gas suppliers, and regulators      on the latest interconnect timelines, water rights challenges, and  permitting workarounds
• Benchmark cooling and power stack strategies from early movers to ensure scalability and resilience from day one

Capacity Decisions Today Dictate Tomorrow’s Market Share

We’ve engaged with construction firms, independent developers, and infrastructure financiers to ensure the agenda reflects execution realities. Developers are not only planners—they are the system architects who decide the energy and cooling stack long before data centers come online. 

High-impact choices explored include:

• How  developers, financiers, and constructors are synchronising decisions to      cut interconnect delays 
• Gain insight into proven methods for choosing the right energy and cooling      stack before construction—avoiding costly mid-project redesigns

For developers, constructors, and financiers, the next decade of AI capacity will be defined not by how fast you can build, but by how smartly you can optimise power and cooling from the very start. The conference is your arena to test assumptions, stress-check decisions, and connect with the peers and partners who will shape the economics of tomorrow’s campuses.
