Xchange USA 2027
Can AI Infrastructure Scale Fast Enough to Meet America's Next Wave of Compute Demand?
AI infrastructure is entering an execution race. Join hyperscalers, AI compute providers, data center developers, utilities, energy companies, technology leaders, investors, and infrastructure partners working to turn accelerating compute demand into power-ready, high-density, commercially viable infrastructure.
The Big Question Facing AI Infrastructure:
What Will It Take to Turn AI Demand into Deployable, Resource-Ready Infrastructure?
AI compute demand is accelerating faster than the infrastructure required to support it. Power availability, grid capacity, cooling, water, land, equipment, and development timelines are becoming critical constraints on where and how quickly new capacity can be deployed.
AI Infrastructure Xchange USA 2027 convenes the senior stakeholders responsible for building, powering, equipping, financing, and operating the next generation of AI infrastructure—from hyperscale campuses and AI factories to new distributed and alternative deployment models.
The ecosystem must now align compute architecture, power strategy, high-density cooling, site development, capital, resource efficiency, and community acceptance into infrastructure models capable of scaling reliably and commercially.
Five Agenda Pillars for Scaling AI Infrastructure
The agenda is structured around the technical, infrastructure, operational, financial, and market priorities that will determine how AI compute moves from rapid capacity expansion to resilient, resource-ready, commercially sustainable infrastructure.
Powering the AI Infrastructure Buildout
AI infrastructure growth is creating rapidly rising demand for reliable, scalable power. This theme examines large-load interconnection, transmission constraints, speed-to-power, behind-the-meter generation, microgrids, energy storage, natural gas, renewables, and advanced nuclear, while addressing electricity costs, grid resilience, ratepayer impacts, and the coordination required between utilities, developers, and hyperscalers.
Scaling AI Compute, Networking & Cluster Infrastructure
Scaling AI workloads requires more than adding GPUs. This theme explores accelerators, rack-scale computing, high-speed network fabrics, optics, interconnects, storage, memory, cluster reliability, and infrastructure utilization, alongside the evolving roles of hyperscalers, neoclouds, dedicated AI compute providers, and GPU-as-a-Service models in expanding high-performance computing capacity.
High-Density Data Center Power, Cooling & Thermal Infrastructure
Rapidly increasing rack densities are reshaping facility design. Discussions will examine direct-to-chip liquid cooling, immersion and advanced cooling architectures, high-density power distribution, coolant delivery, heat rejection, backup systems, and infrastructure integration, alongside closed-loop cooling, water efficiency, heat reuse, and strategies for increasing compute density without creating unsustainable power or water demands.
AI Data Center Development & Emerging Infrastructure Models
AI capacity must be developed faster despite constraints around power, fiber, water, land, permitting, equipment, and construction. This theme explores site strategy, modular and prefabricated deployment, AI factories, distributed infrastructure, and integration with dedicated power generation, while examining emerging offshore, subsea, and longer-term orbital compute models that could reshape where infrastructure is deployed.
Financing, Commercial Models & De-Risking AI Infrastructure Deployment
AI infrastructure is increasingly capital-intensive while technology and commercial models continue to evolve rapidly. This theme examines infrastructure investment, compute leasing, capacity agreements, power procurement, hyperscaler and neocloud models, and strategic partnerships, alongside utilization, obsolescence, construction, resource availability, permitting, and social license risks that increasingly influence long-term infrastructure bankability.
