RCRTech Roundtables AI Infrastructure

Expert minds. Smaller rooms. Bigger ideas.

The RCRTech Roundtables, facilitated by a host of experts, will provide attendees with the opportunity to share their experiences and discuss the challenges they are currently facing regarding powering data centers and deploying edge-based AI. Attendees will be invited to actively contribute to the roundtables and come equipped with issues and scenarios that they would like to address in the session.

More than just a knowledge exchange, these sessions will combine practical experience, peer insight, and cutting-edge thinking to deliver tangible outcomes. Attendees will leave not only with fresh perspectives, but with actionable ideas and realistic solutions to tackle their most pressing and fast-evolving challenges.

The most important conversations in AI infrastructure don't happen on stage. They happen between the people who actually build, power and operate the systems the world depends on, away from the noise.

This is where they happen.

RCRTech Roundtables advisory board.

Shaped by the industry's leading voices. Our 2026 advisory committee brings together global experts in data center operations, power infrastructure, AI investment, and engineering — ensuring every discussion reflects the challenges that matter most right now.

The roundtable focus areas.

Two simultaneous roundtables. Thirty participants each. No vendor pitches. One private lunch, bringing both groups together. Real conversations. Actionable outcomes.

1. Powering AI at scale - practical strategies for today’s data center energy challenges.

The real barrier to scaling AI isn't compute capacity, it's the ability to deliver reliable, cost-effective power at the pace AI demands. Grid queues are getting longer, energy costs are volatile and high-density clusters are pushing traditional infrastructure to its limits. This workshop explores what operators can do about it right now: on-site generation, microgrids, new distribution architectures and smarter energy management strategies.

2. Delivering AI at scale - navigating the strategic shift toward edge-based inferencing.

The shift from centralised training clusters to distributed, edge-based inferencing is accelerating — driven by the need for lower latency, reduced backhaul traffic, and faster decision-making. But moving AI closer to users and devices introduces real architectural, operational and investment challenges that organisations are only beginning to work through. This workshop examines where inferencing should run, how edge sites fit into the broader AI ecosystem and what infrastructure is required to deliver consistent performance across distributed environments.

The conversations continue over lunch.

The private networking lunch is as much a part of the day as the roundtables themselves. 

The private lunch will bring both groups together, a rare opportunity to build relationships with the people who are shaping the future of AI infrastructure, in an environment as considered and exclusive as the conversations that preceded it. Put faces to names, follow up on the morning's discussions and forge the kind of connections that don't happen on a trade show floor.

In a room of 60 senior professionals, every conversation matters.

Join the conversation alongside the data center owners and operators driving the global AI infrastructure buildout.

The exclusive venue.

We're bringing RCR Roundtables to The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas, a newly reimagined luxury resort that blends modern elegance with the natural beauty of the Texas countryside. Set on 400 acres of historic ranchland and minutes from DFW Airport, it's the ideal setting for the conversations shaping the future of telecom and connectivity.

Las Colinas sits at the heart of one of the most connected business corridors in the American South, home to the headquarters of Fortune 500 companies spanning technology, energy and telecommunications. Dallas has emerged as one of the most significant tech and connectivity hubs in the United States, making it a natural gathering point. The Ritz-Carlton itself sets the tone for the day, a newly reimagined luxury resort spread across 400 acres of historic Texas ranchland that blends modern elegance with a sense of genuine occasion. 

The Ritz-Carlton's position just eight miles from DFW Airport also makes it one of the most accessible luxury venues in the region, ensuring a straightforward arrival for attendees traveling from across the country or internationally. 

The venue is well-suited to the kind of intimate, high-value gathering that defines the RCR Roundtables format. With dedicated meeting rooms accommodating 30 senior industry figures each, the setting encourages the focused, candid conversation that larger venues cannot replicate. 

A private networking lunch brings both groups together in an exclusive setting, giving attendees the time and space to continue the dialogue from the morning sessions without distraction. It is the kind of environment where real connections are made and where the conversations that matter most to the industry can happen.

A unique opportunity for attendees to share their experiences and discuss the challenges they are currently facing regarding powering data centers and deploying edge-based AI.
