Oktoberfest Tech Edition: Build AI Data Centers That Perform — and Sustain

October 23 • 13:00 – late
Hälsingegatan 10, Gothenburg

What does it take to run AI at scale without blowing up your budget—or the planet? Join Aixia together with NVIDIA, ProLabs, Navigator and GleSYS for an afternoon where high performance meets sustainable design, followed by an Oktoberfest mingle with food, drinks, and great conversations.

Why join

Clarity from plan to production. A step-by-step view of how to move from PoC to stable, scaled AI operations—without surprises.
Performance where it matters. Learn how modern Ethernet fabrics purpose-built for AI (e.g., NVIDIA Spectrum-X) boost end-to-end AI workload performance and efficiency
Upgrade the network, not the headache. Understand 400G/800G optics choices (interoperability, latency, thermal) and how vendor-neutral transceivers de-risk rollouts
Sustainability that pays back. See how Nordic operators power data centers with 100% renewable energy and reuse excess heat for district heating—turning waste into value

What you’ll take home

A practical blueprint for AI/HPC data center design: networking, optics, storage feeds, and scaling patterns that keep GPUs busy and budgets predictable.
Concrete choices for 6–18 months, from topology and optics to procurement levers that cut time-to-value.
Actionable sustainability tactics (green energy, heat reuse) that also reduce TCO.

Who should attend

CTOs, Heads of Infrastructure/Operations, DC Managers, Network/Infra Architects, and business owners/investors shaping AI and high-performance infrastructure. We also welcome individuals with a strong interest and genuine enthusiasm for the topic — those eager to learn more and develop deep expertise in this field.

Speakers & partners

NVIDIA Networking — Insights from the front lines of AI networking and accelerated Ethernet fabrics for training and inference at scale
ProLabs — Practical 400G/800G optics for AI: compatibility, coding, validation, and how to simplify multi-vendor environments
GleSYS — Nordic data center sustainability in action: renewable power and heat-reuse models that turn excess heat into district heating
Aixia — Real-world lessons from building and running AI/HPC environments across the Nordics.
