As the AI revolution accelerates, the demand for data center infrastructure is skyrocketing—from tens of megawatts to gigawatt-scale projects, and from standard racks to high-density deployments pushing 100+ kW per rack. The rules of the game are being rewritten, and the infrastructure we build today must be agile, sustainable, and AI-ready.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Chris Crosby, CEO of Compass Datacenters, will deliver a keynote at this year’s AI Infra Summit, taking place on September 9, 2025, from 11:45 AM to 12:30 PM. The keynote panel, titled “Getting Growth Right – Innovation & Sustainability in the AI Data Center”, brings together visionary leaders to explore how we scale responsibly while meeting the energy, cooling, and compute needs of tomorrow’s AI workloads.
Joining Chris on stage will be:
- Mark Kidd, EVP & GM, Data Centers & Asset Lifecycle Management, Iron Mountain
- Laura Ortman, CEO, Cologix
This year marks the first time the Summit formally integrates the critical role of the data center sector in shaping AI’s capacity and sustainability future. With AI infrastructure evolving at breakneck speed, the conference zeroes in on the real-world challenges and opportunities facing our industry.
