AI Infrastructure: Talks + AI Agent Workshops

We bring together leaders and builders advancing key layers of AI infrastructure, from energy, chips, and compute to cloud infrastructure, AI models, and applications. The discussion will feature perspectives on scaling AI sustainably, addressing energy and utility constraints, supporting emerging models, and enabling the next generation of AI applications.

TechEquity Ai invites you to an evening of applied AI learning and hands-on building at the Snowflake SVAI Hub in Menlo Park. We bring together AI leaders, developers, founders, early-career talent, and professionals exploring AI.

This session is part of the TechEquity Ai Monthly Forum Series, combining strategic insights and real-world use cases from industry leaders, alongside technical workshops and live demonstrations.
