You may know him as Mr. Wonderful from ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’ series – though today, Kevin O’Leary is better known for his venture capitalist and investment pursuits. And one industry Kevin is hot on is data centers.

Not only does he promote investing in data centers in mainstream media, but he is personally investing in a ‘mega data center project’ called Wonder Valley through his O’Leary Ventures company. This AI-powered data center industrial park will be nestled within the Greenview Industrial Gateway (GIG) in Alberta’s Municipal District of Greenview. Planned as an off-grid, approximately 8-gigawatt AI Data Center Park, Wonder Valley represents a bold step into the future of technology. O’Leary will share his learnings from this critical project, and insights on the data center industry and its thirst for power and alternative energy resources.

He will also share anecdotes from his 15-year run as one of the most popular judges on Shark Tank. Known for his tough critiques and brutal honesty, O’Leary has seen his fair share of good ideas and bad ones.

Fortunately for data centers, the hype cycle is real. This is a ‘can’t miss’ keynote!
