Join us during San Francisco Climate Week for a high-level gathering co-hosted by Noon Energy & Mind the Bridge, bringing together the leaders building the next-generation energy stack powering AI infrastructure.
As AI scales, data centers are rapidly becoming the world's fastest deployment platform for new energy systems, forcing a fundamental rethink of how we generate, store, & operate power across the grid & beyond. For the first time in decades, AI is forcing a ground-up rearchitecture of the energy system.
This event convenes hyperscalers, utilities, investors, & energy innovators to unpack how a new, integrated power stack is emerging to meet this demand.
For energy leaders: Understand what is already technically & commercially viable today, & how leading utilities & operators are deploying new solutions to power data center growth.
For investors: Gain a clearer view of the industrial landscape behind AI infrastructure, & connect with top-tier innovators building the next generation of energy systems.
For builders & AI/energy enthusiasts: Plug into a high-signal network of founders, corporates, & operators shaping the future of data center power.
This event is part of the Mind the Bridge Silicon Valley Summit 2026.
