SUMMARY:Register for Speed to Power: Delivering Data Centers in a High-Demand World – Sept 28, 2026 – Houston, TX
DESCRIPTION:Monday, September 28, 2026 | 5:00–8:00 PM\nJoin the Rice Global Forum for a timely panel discussion on the challenges of delivering data centers as demand for hyperscale infrastructure and AI workloads continues to surge.\nEvent Details\nLocation: Rice University, James A. Baker III Hall\nSchedule:\n\n5:00–6:00 PM: Check-In and Welcome Reception\n6:00–7:00 PM: Panel Discussion\n7:00–8:00 PM: Networking Reception\n\nParking: Rice University’s Central Campus Parking Garage\nAbout the Discussion\nThe rapid growth of hyperscale infrastructure and AI workloads is pushing engineering, power, and capital requirements to new levels. Data center projects are becoming megaprojects, with rising power densities reshaping cooling, construction, connectivity, and grid requirements.\nThe panel will examine how the industry can respond to the growing pressure to deliver projects faster, while managing the technical, financial, and operational challenges involved.\nIndustry leaders will discuss breakthrough cooling technologies, modular construction strategies, major capital investments, and execution risk. The conversation will also draw on lessons from large-scale industrial and oil & gas megaprojects to explore how teams can navigate complexity, manage risk, and deliver at scale.\nFeatured Speakers\n\nSteve Beatte – Chief Operating Officer, Burr Computer Environments, Inc.\nJake Courville, PE, MBA – Vice President – Power Plant Operations, Entergy – Operations Services & Generation\nJuan Jurado – Vice President of Sales, CLAYCO\nStephen Poppe – Director – Digital Construction Operations, VIATECHNIK\n\nWhy This Matters Now\n\nEngineering challenges created by hyperscale and AI workloads, including increased power needs and reliability requirements\nNew cooling approaches, including liquid cooling and large-scale heat management\nPower supply and grid limitations affecting data center growth\nPressure to accelerate construction through modular methods\nManaging major investments and project risks as spending increases\nLessons from industrial and oil & gas megaprojects that can help scale data center development\n\nWho Should Attend?\nThe event is designed for anyone involved in building, powering, or investing in data centers, including developers, engineers, construction teams, energy providers, and technology leaders.\nThe next generation of data centers is being built now, and the pressure to deliver has never been greater. Join the conversation shaping what comes next.\nSponsored by Vantage Services\n
