Join over 100 senior executives from Alberta’s Energy, Infrastructure, Cloud, and AI sectors for a high-impact breakfast session designed to shape the future of digital infrastructure in Alberta. Hosted ahead of the Future Summit 2025, this exclusive pre-activation at Platform Calgary’s KPMG Pitch Stage convenes top leaders to explore the convergence of AI and energy infrastructure — a pivotal conversation as Alberta positions itself as a global AI compute hub.
Why Attend:
Insights from Industry Leaders: Hear from top global experts in AI systems engineering, AI data centre buildouts, regulatory frameworks, and venture capital.
Strategic Networking: Connect with influential leaders shaping Alberta’s next wave of AI and data centre investments.
First-Mover Advantage: Gain early positioning before major announcements at the Future Summit this November.
"Alberta is quickly rising as the premier global destination for next-generation AI data centres, and we’re seeing significant inbound interest from top-tier global investors. The province offers a rare combination of advantages, including lower-cost energy, a milder climate ideal for hyperscale cooling, and an abundant natural gas supply, making it uniquely positioned for scalable and sustainable infrastructure. With exponential growth in AI models and compute demand, this sector is poised to accelerate rapidly, delivering massive long-term economic benefits for Alberta going forward."
— Harish Consul, Founder & CEO, Ocgrow Ventures
Featured Fireside Chat Speakers:
Carson Kearl, Lead Data Centre Analyst, Enverus (Moderator)
Cory Janssen, CEO, AltaML
Harish Consul, CEO, Ocgrow Ventures
Ian MacGregor, Founder, North West Digital Power
Pete Lafontaine, President, Rainforest Energy
Wish Bakshi, AI Systems Engineer, AQ Energy
A fireside chat will be followed by Q&A and curated networking designed to foster collaboration ahead of major compute infrastructure announcements anticipated later this year.
“Data centres can be a new, non-facilities-constrained market for Alberta natural gas. No need for permits from other jurisdictions, pipelines or LNG plants, just make our gas into photons. Our gas transmission system is more reliable than our electrical grid. We can deliver reliable power with a low-cost, non-renewable option for reduced carbon intensity by building at our brownfield gas processing sites. We can do it fast, we can do it reliably without connecting to the grid, and we can deliver the cheapest, low-carbon power in the world.”
– Ian MacGregor, Founder, North West Digital Power
“Alberta has attributes that make it an attractive market for data center expansion, namely abundant natural gas reserves and a welcoming political climate. While the AESO’s interconnection queue makes it clear that there is interest from infrastructure players, the next step for the province is translating that interest over to hyperscale tenants. Those tenants are almost solely focused on American and recently Middle Eastern markets.”
– Carson Kearl, Lead Data Centre Analyst, Enverus
