About Event

Join Drive Capital for an interactive roundtable on the Midwest’s role in powering the future of energy, compute, and AI.

Illinois has the nation’s most nuclear power, a low-carbon grid, and world-class research institutions like Argonne and UIUC. Meta recently signed a 20-year deal with the Clinton nuclear plant to power its AI infrastructure, highlighting Illinois' strategic edge.

This event brings together founders, investors, technologists, and policymakers for real dialogue:

  • Madi Hilly, Radiant Energy Group

  • State Senator Sue Rezin, Illinois General Assembly

  • Jack Ackerman , MoonliteAI

  • Alderman Gilbert Villegas, 36th Ward

  • Drew Wandzilak, Alumni Ventures

No panels. Just candid conversation on three themes:

  • How infrastructure and policy shape innovation

  • The capital behind compute-heavy startups

  • How builders and government can move faster together

Registration does not guarantee attendance.
