About this conference
The Data Center and AI Infrastructure Forum convenes the developers, investors, operators, and policymakers driving the next generation of digital infrastructure. Hosted by the NYU SPS Schack Institute of Real Estate, the forum brings together leaders at the forefront of building, financing, and enabling the physical backbone of artificial intelligence from hyperscale data centers to edge and energy systems. As AI accelerates demand for compute, the conversation has shifted from theoretical to operational. This year’s program moves beyond headlines to focus on execution, examining how industry leaders are navigating power constraints, interconnection timelines, capital deployment, site selection, and delivery risk in a rapidly evolving landscape. Attendees will gain insight into: Power availability, grid constraints, and energy strategy; Development and underwriting approaches for AI infrastructure; Hyperscale, colocation, and edge deployment models; Site selection, permitting, and infrastructure delivery timelines; Capital flows, investment strategies, and execution risk; The intersection of technology, energy, and real estate. The forum also creates a platform for NYU students to engage directly with industry leaders, gain exposure to real-world challenges, and explore career pathways in this rapidly emerging sector. The AI Infrastructure Forum is designed as a high-level working session for those shaping and scaling the infrastructure behind artificial intelligence.
