Yesterday's Data Centers Innovation & Next-Gen Workforce Summit was exactly the kind of gathering our industry needs — and a powerful reminder of why these conversations matter. From thoughtful dialogue on utility collaboration to honest discussions about dispelling data center myths, it was a day full of substance and shared purpose. What stood out most was a collective commitment to being good neighbors — not just as builders, but as long-term partners invested in local workforces and job creation. Demonstrating to communities how data centers support the next generation of leaders in their communities and the nation. A heartfelt thank you to SMU Lyle School of Engineering & The Hunter & Stephanie Hunt Institute for Engineering & Humanity for hosting and creating the space for these important conversations, to every speaker who brought expertise and candor to the stage and to all the attendees who made it such a meaningful day. This is what it looks like when an industry comes together with intention. We're grateful to have been part of it. 🤝

Our SVP of Innovation, Amy Marks is set to ignite more critical conversations this month! She's bringing her insights to two major industry events: At Data Center World AFCOM, Amy will discuss designing for 100kW racks with modular pods to accelerate AI-ready data centers, and explore the evolution of industrialized construction from kits of parts to market ecosystems. Then, she'll deliver the keynote at the Lean Construction Institute (US) LCI Lean in Design Forum 2026, focusing on innovation that bridges technical design with factory efficiency. Amy will unpack how advanced design, modularity and industrialized construction are key to solving today's biggest challenges in digital infrastructure.

It's UT Energy Week, and we're amplifying conversations from the innovators working on the energy challenges that matter most to our industry. On the latest episode of Not Your Father's Data Center, our Chief Customer Officer Raymond Hawkins sits down with Matt Loszak, co-founder and CEO of Aalo Atomics, to talk about what it will actually take to power the next generation of data centers — cleanly and at scale. Growing up in Ontario, Matt had 62 smog days a year and chronic asthma. Then his province transitioned its energy grid to nuclear. The smog disappeared. His asthma went away. That moment eventually led him to co-found Alo Atomics, a company building what may be the fastest path to clean, reliable, gigawatt-scale power for data centers. The conversation covers the XMR vs. SMR distinction, rolling refueling schedules that eliminate downtime, behind-the-meter power economics, and a long-term vision for power at 3 cents per kilowatt hour. If you're thinking about where the electrons come from next, this one is worth your time.
