About the Content

As artificial intelligence moves from pilot programs to enterprise-wide deployment, leaders face increasing pressure to deliver secure, high-performance AI at scale. Yet many organizations are constrained by fragmented infrastructure, data silos, and the overwhelming pace of innovation.

This private, peer-to-peer gathering brings together senior IT, data, and infrastructure leaders for an evening of candid conversation, world-class wine tasting, and fine dining. The discussion will explore how the combined strengths of HPE, Equinix, and NVIDIA are helping enterprises modernize infrastructure, eliminate data bottlenecks, and accelerate AI adoption—from data center to edge to cloud.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies for scaling AI workloads, strengthening governance, and unlocking business value through powerful partnerships—while enjoying an exceptional culinary and networking experience in a relaxed, upscale setting.
