What To Expect

The AI infrastructure era has created a planning problem most organizations haven't solved: how do you synchronize decisions across engineering configurations, supplier capacity, component constraints, deployment schedules, and financial tradeoffs when every variable is moving at once?

This private dinner brings together senior leaders from across the high-tech value chain for a moderated panel conversation with Oscar Garavito, formerly Head of Supply Chain Transformation at Meta Data Center Infrastructure and Supriya Iyer, formerly Director of Global Networking Supply Chain and Operations at Google alongside Dr. Ashwin Rao, Chief AI Officer at o9, whose team built the planning architectures Google & Meta deployed to manage infrastructure buildouts at this scale.

The conversation will cover how leading organizations are rethinking planning architecture for AI-scale operations, where current tools break down, and what it actually looks like to move from fragmented forecasts toward connected, constraint-aware decision-making.
