Our Spark Sessions provide a high-energy forum to let you soak up three big ideas in one conference session. In this session, three speakers will each cover a key emerging topic in the Data Center Build track:

  • How adaptive reuse turned an idle plant into a 24 MW AI hub in less than a year (Mark Hamilton, TECFusions)
  • Why cable landing stations must evolve to better link subsea connectivity, terrestrial backhaul, and AI-ready capacity (Joel Ogren, Assured Communications)
  • Why workforce housing has become a major risk factor for remote data center builds and how the industry’s addressing it (Troy Schrenk, Target Hospitality)
