With data centres becoming critical economic infrastructure\, closer alignment between technology deployment\, energy systems and public policy is increasingly important. \n \n \n \n How is the surge in AI-driven compute demand reshaping energy requirements\, site selection and investment strategy for data centres and hyperscalers?How are OEMs and technology providers adapting solutions for high-density\, energy-intensive digital infrastructure?What role can policy play in enabling faster\, more coordinated infrastructure development without compromising reliability or community trust?How should governments\, industry and civil society engage to manage the local and system-wide impacts of data centre expansion? \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Confirmed Speakers: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Cyre Mercedes Quiñones \n \n \n \n CEO\, Infrastructure Masons \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Cy McNeill \n \n \n \n Senior Director\, Federal Affairs\, Data Center Coalition \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Nathan Ohle \n \n \n \n President & CEO\, International Economic Development Council \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Cy McGeady \n \n \n \n Head of Energy Policy\, Equinix \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Liliana Diaz \n \n \n \n Senior Fellow\, Global Energy Center\, Atlantic Council \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Apply for your complimentary place here: \n \n \n \n \n Apply to Attend In-Person URL:https://imasons.org/activity/events-2025-people-lc-amer-virginia/ CATEGORIES:Americas ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://imasons.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/imasons-events-headers-2-2.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
