Speaker Lineup
Evan Conrad - CEO, SF Compute
Evan will dive into the emerging world of offtake agreements for data centers - how guaranteed demand contracts are reshaping financing and deployment models for compute infrastructure.
Ryan Cunningham - Energy & Compute Innovator
Working at the intersection of energy and compute, Ryan will explore how power availability has become the defining bottleneck for data center expansion - and how new models can energize the next wave of AI infrastructure.
Honour Masters - Partner, Crucible Capital
In “How to Build a Data Center”, Honour will unpack Crucible’s hands-on work financing and developing cutting-edge data centers, and the evolving landscape in the sector.
Asher Dayanim - Sovereign AI, Cerebras
Asher will share insights from the frontier of sovereign AI - how nations and large institutions are building their own AI infrastructure using next - generation compute technologies.
Zander Steele - Founder, Kratos AI
Zander will explore how Kratos AI is addressing the “missing middle” in data centers - bridging the gap between hyperscale facilities and small edge deployments with flexible, right-sized infrastructure designed for the new wave of AI workloads.
Marilyn Miller - Vantage Data Centers
Marilyn will discuss the financing and development of hyperscale and enterprise data centers, offering a practical look at equity structures, funding models, and developer - investor alignment.
Margarita Groisman – CEO, Aravolta
Margarita will present how AI-driven DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) software is redefining data center operations - enabling automation, optimization, and intelligent management across power, cooling, and assets.
AI is driving the biggest wave of data center growth in history. This event dives into the core challenges and opportunities of scaling GPU clusters, advanced cooling, and power systems for the AI era.
Hear from builders and investors shaping the next generation of AI infrastructure — from modular data centers to energy-optimized designs — and learn what it takes to power the future of AI.
This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
