Anna Rantala, Marketing Manager at BCS, discusses the company’s new branding – a refresh that is about showing the world the BCS that already exists - modern, dynamic, and human at its core. Anna explains how the new branding is the platform to grow into the next decade and ‘gives space to our people and culture, the part of BCS that clients always tell me makes the biggest difference. It might feel like a big change, but the truth is we’ve been this brand all along. We just weren’t showing it’.

Simon Harris, Director of Critical Infrastructure at BCS, discusses the role that legacy data centres have in supporting the development of AI, with inferencing seen as a major opportunity. Simon outlines the challenges of making legacy data centres ‘AI ready’, suggesting that many, if not all, such facilities, need to recognise the importance of refurbishment if they are not to miss out on not just the current AI boom, but also the ongoing, general digital transformation expansion.

Pete Aston, Specialist Connections Engineer at Roadnight Taylor, discusses the findings of a new report Powering Great Britain’s Data Centre Ambitions, explaining how data centre developers are facing mounting grid connection challenges that can derail even the most promising projects. The interplay between technical, regulatory and commercial complexities in grid connections creates challenges that most developers underestimate until they’re deep into the process. Pete is confident that, with the right planning and collaboration in place, there is enough grid capacity to meet the data centre industry’s predicted increased power demands into the future.

David Hurtado, Managing Director of Quetta Data Centers, discusses the impact of AI on the data centre market, explaining that today’s focus on LLMs and training will soon be joined by AI inferencing, where low latency at the edge will be crucial in delivering an optimised application experience. David also discusses the need for liquid cooling in high density data centre environments and outlines how Quetta is developing an AI data centre portfolio for the Iberian peninsula.

Noam Brousard, Vice President, Solutions Engineering, proteanTecs, explains how semiconductors are straining under GenAI workloads such as model training, inference, and high-performance AI applications, and are quietly bleeding energy across data centres. proteanTecs has invented ML-driven deep data health & performance monitoring, which enables AI chipmakers to reclaim 8 - 14% in power savings without sacrificing performance, by eliminating the energy waste baked into traditional design. This also decreases the amount of water needed to cool down servers. For a data centre like Meta’s Hyperion, that would mean savings of up to 700 megawatts or enough power for more than 200,000 homes.

Ben Pritchard, AVK CEO, discusses the findings of a joint Wartsila and AVK-SEG white paper: Data centre dispatchable capacity: a major opportunity for Europe’s energy transition, which provides new analysis on how data centre microgrids can reduce grid infrastructure spending, emissions and wasted energy, while providing a balanced path for the energy transition. The analysis finds that powering the data centres across Europe by optimised microgrids could create a significant bank of dispatchable power, supporting the entire continent’s energy transition.
