The conversation around data centers is everywhere, but as massive AI developments move from planning to construction, that conversation is becoming a reality—fast. As demand for computing power grows, so does the need for reliable energy, modernized grids, and innovative investment strategies. Renowned entrepreneur, investor, and television Shark Tank personality Kevin O'Leary (""Mr. Wonderful"") is helping shape this transformation through his work developing some of the largest data centers in the United States.

Drawing on his experience in AI, infrastructure, and investment, O’Leary will explore how the convergence of energy and digital technology is creating new opportunities for utilities, investors, technology leaders, and policymakers. From grid transformation to billion-dollar investments, he’ll uncover what’s driving the next wave of innovation and the key decisions shaping the future of energy.

  • Collaboration between utilities, tech giants, and investors
  • Building the infrastructure needed for an AI-powered future
  • Modernizing the grid to support growth and innovation
  • Unlocking investment opportunities across the energy landscape

Join Kevin O’Leary for an inside look at the forces reshaping energy, technology, and the economy—and what it will take to power the next generation of digital infrastructure.
