The rapid growth of compute demand is reshaping how power is generated, procured, and optimized, bringing AI, climate innovation, and energy infrastructure into a single conversation.

Join leading VCs and founders for an evening discussion on how the AI boom is transforming the global energy landscape. Panels will explore emerging solutions across power procurement and siting constraints, advanced cooling and next-generation chips, decarbonization and carbon offsets, and energy-as-a-service models designed for AI workloads.
