/ About this event
The AI race is no longer only about building more powerful models or deploying more GPUs. As AI workloads scale, the data centers and physical infrastructure behind them are becoming a critical constraint — from access to power and cooling capacity to the ability to operate increasingly complex facilities efficiently.
Join NVIDIA, M12, and etalytics for an evening exploring what will define the next era of AI infrastructure — followed by BBQ, drinks, and networking with leaders from across the AI, energy, and data center ecosystem.
Panelists • Scott Wallace, Director Data Center Engineering at NVIDIA • Michael Stewart, Managing Partner at M12 • Dr. Niklas Panten, Co-Founder & CEO at etalytics
Moderated by Marcus Schuler, San Francisco correspondent for FAZ, one of Germany’s leading national newspapers
Agenda
6:00 PM – Doors Open & Welcome Drinks Arrive, grab a drink, and connect with fellow attendees from across the AI, energy, and data center ecosystem.
6:20 PM – Welcome & Opening Remarks A brief introduction from etalytics and our partners.
6:30 PM – Panel Discussion: The AI Power Crunch: Energy, Compute and the Race to Scale AI Perspectives from NVIDIA, M12, and etalytics on the future of AI compute, data center infrastructure, energy, and intelligent operations.
7:30 PM – BBQ & Networking Continue the conversation over BBQ, drinks, and informal networking with speakers and leaders from across the AI and data center ecosystem.
About the Conversation
How far can compute continue to scale? Where will new infrastructure software categories and investment opportunities emerge? And can we make data centers intelligent enough to dynamically manage power, cooling, capacity, and operational complexity?
The discussion will explore the transition from simply asking:
“How much capacity can we build?”
to a new and increasingly important question:
“How much useful compute can we deliver from every megawatt?”
We’ll examine the convergence of AI compute, data center infrastructure, energy, software, and operational intelligence and what founders, operators, infrastructure providers, and investors should expect as AI moves into its next phase of scale.
Following the panel, attendees will have the opportunity to continue the conversation with speakers and other leaders across the AI and data center ecosystem over BBQ and drinks.
