- Live Virtual Conversation
Event Details:
The digital infrastructure industry has never been more visible—or more scrutinized. Communities and governments are asking hard questions about data centers’ impact on power grids, water use, noise, and the environment, while also weighing benefits like jobs, tax revenue, and improved services.
This panel will explore how digital infrastructure companies can move beyond transactional development to authentic, community-centered engagement.
Top leaders from our industry will share how they’re driving positive impact through renewable energy, water efficiency, education, and biodiversity initiatives—and how collaboration with local governments, schools, and citizens helps align the industry with community priorities.
Panelists:
- Eric Topham, CEO & Co-Founder at Octaipipe
- Joshua (JP) Buzzell, VP, Data Center Chief Architect at Eaton
- Parag Mehresh, Director of Technical sales at Vertiv
- Romain Tranchant (Moderator), iMasons Innovation Chair
