Putting it All Together: What's Next with Infrastructure for Data Centers, AI and Quantum

Mountain Connect 2026 takes on the most pressing infrastructure issue of the year — and of the next internet era: building the data center, network, and compute capacity required for rapid advances in artificial intelligence and quantum. Keynotes, panels, and roundtables throughout the conference address various aspects of this overarching theme. As an open discussion among all in attendance, this panel will take stock of these conversations, synthesize a throughline of the complementary threads, and identify next steps for leading thinkers and doers in the broader industry — to help us all get this essential private investment, public policy, and local regulation right.
