We have a great lineup of speakers:
Evan is CTO of Sofar Ocean, whose mission is to connect the world's oceans to power a more sustainable future. One way they do that is with Spotter, an extensible ocean sensing platform that delivers real-time surface and subsurface data to researchers, operators, and innovators. Susan is the Co-Founder & CEO of Novos Power, building megawatt-class solid state transformers that power AI data centers directly from medium-voltage lines — bypassing legacy utility-transformer bottlenecks. Sam is Co-founder and CEO of Aikido Technologies, building GW-scale floating offshore data centers that combine AI compute infrastructure with ocean-based power and cooling. They are deploying a proof-of-concept in Norway later this year.
