Bring physical demos for open mic!
Shout-out to our venue partner!
Sofar Ocean's mission is to connect the world's oceans to power a more sustainable future. Learn more here.
We have a great lineup of speakers:
Evan is CTO of Sofar Ocean, whose mission is to connect the world's oceans to power a more sustainable future. One way they do that is with Spotter, an extensible ocean sensing platform that delivers real-time surface & subsurface data to researchers, operators, & innovators.
Susan is the Co-Founder & CEO of Novos Power, building megawatt-class solid state transformers that power AI data centers directly from medium-voltage lines - bypassing legacy utility-transformer bottlenecks.
Sam is Co-founder & CEO of Aikido Technologies, building GW-scale floating offshore data centers that combine AI compute infrastructure with ocean-based power & cooling. They are deploying a proof-of-concept in Norway later this year.
