Power, Scale & AI: Inside the Data Centre Shift

What does it take to build AI data centres fit for an AI-driven world? In this Innovation Exchange session, three industry experts explore the forces reshaping AI infrastructure — from data centre site selection and power availability to liquid cooling and sustainable hyperscale design. ---------- Pritesh Indore (Crusoe) breaks down why site selection is no longer a real estate decision — it's an energy procurement and geopolitical one. Eric Closson (Stream Data Centers) examines the sustainability challenges of extreme-density compute, from water use to power efficiency. JP Buzzell (Eaton) dives into the evolving design strategies needed to future-proof facilities built for AI workloads. Together they tackle the big questions: Where will the power come from? How do we bring communities along? And what does the next generation of infrastructure actually look like? ------------------------- 💬 Topics covered: site selection, power availability, liquid cooling, SMRs, behind-the-meter energy, community engagement, and the future of AI factories. __________________ 🎙️ Moderator: Romain Tranchant, iMasons Innovation Committee Chair 📅 Originally streamed live on March 24, 2026.
