The AI Factories and Power Infrastructure Forum, taking place February 17–18, 2027, in Austin, Texas, will bring together data center operators, electric utilities, power developers, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, investors, regulators and other industry leaders to examine the rapidly evolving infrastructure requirements of AI-driven computing.

This two-day executive and technical forum will explore how the unprecedented power density, scale and speed-to-market requirements of AI factories are reshaping data center development and the electric power system. Discussions will address power availability, utility coordination, grid interconnection, onsite generation, microgrids, energy storage, advanced cooling, electrical infrastructure, load flexibility, resilience and the integration of large-scale AI computing facilities into constrained regional grids.

Industry professionals who can share real-world experience, implementation lessons, case studies, emerging strategies and forward-looking insights are encouraged to submit a speaking proposal. Priority will be given to presentations that provide practical guidance for addressing power constraints, accelerating project deployment and supporting the dependable operation of increasingly energy-intensive AI infrastructure.

For a list of topics and sessions tentatively planned for the Forum, please review the Preliminary Agenda. Please note that the agenda is subject to change.

Preference will be given to proposals that emphasize practical experience, measurable outcomes, lessons learned, implementation challenges, utility and data center requirements, regulatory implications or replicable project and deployment models.

Vendor-neutral, educational presentations are strongly preferred. Presentations typically are positioned within the most appropriate panel session, though stand-alone presentations are also possible.
