Woah... what an INCREDIBLE Wednesday here at Data Center World 2025! Packed keynote, amazing sessions, and so many great conversations. Our expo hall is PACKED with people and amazing innovations in the data center industry. I had fun today :) I shared the keynote state today with Jeffrey Olson of Kairos Power and Lucia Tian with Google. We discussed their courageous collaboration in deploying 500MW of power using advanced small modular reactors (SMRs). With the first reactor going live by 2030! Our conference party was certainly amusing. It was 'Jersey Shore' Boardwalk themed, and I must admit... a few people dressed up! Big thank you to Marco Caccavale of Livewire Power for sponsoring the party. And thanks for the hat :) OK... I can't believe tomorrow is the last day. But I'm also really looking forward to it. I'm introducing Kevin O'Leary onto the Data Center World stage! Should be fun :) Candace Sipos, Matt Caldwell, James Walker, DEAN DeBiase, Peter C.
