Seminars
- Exploring emerging technologies, including Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation, to keep up with the latest innovation in mechanical design
- Engaging with owners and operators to understand their roadmaps, pain points and evolving standards that will shape the next 2–5 years of infrastructure design
- Translating end-user priorities into smarter mechanical builds to align construction and delivery with evolving customer expectations
- Facilitating dialogue between rack manufacturers, infrastructure engineers and operations teams to ensure mechanical designs align with server/rack requirements
- Examining the lack of full-system integration ownership across vendors, designers and contractors, and how to prevent fragmented integrations and misalignment between components
- Highlighting breakdowns at commissioning handoff to identify where design plans often crash with operational realities to prevent issues early
- Building industry-wide collaboration frameworks to support rapid growth, knowledge transfer and alignment on evolving workload and cooling demands
