Powering the AI revolution: Innovating and accelerating critical physical infrastructure for AI factories

As AI workloads grow in scale, complexity, and intensity, the demand for high-density, scalable, and rapidly deployable power and cooling infrastructure has never been greater. But challenges like power availability, permitting delays, infrastructure densification, and the need for dynamic, AI-specific solutions threaten to slow progress.

In this expert-led panel, hosted by industry leaders from NVIDIA, AI factory operators, and power and cooling innovators will tackle these critical challenges head-on.

Join us for a cutting-edge discussion on the next generation of AI-ready infrastructure, from power-efficient architectures to liquid cooling breakthroughs, and discover how we can future-proof AI factories for demands of tomorrow.

• Attendees will hear
  • We will explore strategies to accelerate deployment cycles.
  • How to optimize for high-performance AI workloads.
  • How to scale infrastructure efficiently while balancing the need for customization and standardization.

• Moderator
  • Greg Stover, Global Director, Hi-Tech Development, Vertiv

Wade Vinson

Chief Data Center Distinguished Engineer, NVIDIA
NVIDIA | Magnolia, TX | USA

Wade Vinson is a trailblazer in the data center industry, currently serving as the Chief Data Center Distinguished Engineer at NVIDIA. With a career spanning over three decades, Wade has been at the forefront of innovation and transformation in the field of data science. He earned the moniker “Podfather” during his tenure at HP fir his groundbreaking work in data centers.

Vinson leads NVIDIA’s data center engineering and operations team, which focuses on designing, building, and operating multi-megawatt data centers. Their work is helping make data centers more accessible, resource-efficient, energy-efficient, and business-efficient, as well as scalable to any size and location globally.
Vinson spent a combined 29 years at Compaq and then HPE, where he was key in architecting, designing, manufacturing, and deploying ProLiant, Apollo, and Cray air- and liquid-cooled servers. He led teams that pioneered fan inventions that extended air-cooling capabilities for over 25 years and helped develop five generations of HPE POD modular data centers. These innovations now utilize liquid cooling to harvest waste heat, helping set the standard for carbon-efficient data centers.
