9:00 am Registration & Networking Breakfast
Workshop A
10:00 am Designing Hybrid Cooling Systems to Balance Air & Liquid Systems & Maintain Operational Efficiency & Flexibility
Designing hybrid cooling systems requires more than combining air and liquid technologies, it demands a coordinated strategy that accounts for shifting workload demands, infrastructure constraints and long-term adaptability. Join this interactive workshop to explore how to implement hybrid approaches in practice, ensuring flexibility and efficiency without creating stranded capacity or operational complexity.
This workshop will gather experts to discuss:
- Understanding the role of hybrid cooling as AI and high-density workloads drive the need for both air and liquid systems to coexist within the same facility
- Comparing different hybrid configurations to determine how to balance performance, efficiency and flexibility across varying rack densities and customer requirements
- Evaluating facility-level considerations, including space, power distribution, water usage and system integration, to support effective hybrid cooling deployment from day one
- Defining scalable hybrid strategies that allow seamless transition between air and liquid cooling over time
12:00 pm Networking Lunch Break
Workshop B
1:00 pm Evaluating Two-Phase Cooling to Understand Performance, Deployment Models & Future Adoption
Understanding two-phase cooling requires evaluating where it delivers meaningful performance advantages and how it can be integrated into real-world deployments. This session will explore how organizations are assessing its role alongside existing solutions and what is needed to enable broader adoption.
This workshop will gather experts to discuss:
- Evaluating the performance benefits of two-phase cooling in ultra-high-density environments to determine where it outperforms existing air and single-phase solutions
- Comparing single-phase and two-phase cooling approaches to understand efficiency, complexity and deployment trade-offs across different use cases
- Addressing safety considerations including fluid handling, leak detection, containment and regulatory compliance to ensure reliable and secure deployment at scale
- Assessing the industry roadmap, including vendor maturity, standardization and real-world adoption trends to identify when and where two-phase cooling becomes commercially viable
3:00 pm Networking & Afternoon Refreshments
Workshop C
3:30 pm Leveraging Free Cooling Strategies to Reduce Energy Use & Enhance Sustainability
Leveraging free cooling strategies requires a considered approach that accounts for climate variability, system integration and operational risk. Discover how you can maximize these opportunities in practice to improve efficiency while maintaining reliable performance across changing conditions.
This workshop will gather experts to discuss:
- Maximizing airside and waterside economization opportunities to reduce reliance on mechanical cooling and lower overall energy consumption
- Aligning free cooling strategies with Eastern climate conditions while managing risks such as humidity, freezing and system transitions to ensure consistent and reliable operation
- Integrating free cooling with liquid cooling systems and higher operating temperatures to unlock greater efficiency and extend economizer hours
- Aligning free cooling strategies with alternative and on-site power sources to reduce grid dependency and maintain efficient operation under constrained or variable power conditions
