CALGARY, Alberta–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AIAdoption —On Wednesday, July 2, 2025 , more than 100 senior leaders from Alberta’s energy, AI, cloud, and infrastructure sectors will gather at Platform Calgary for the Energy & AI Data Centre Executive Breakfast – a curated leadership session launching Calgary Stampede week with a bold focus on Alberta’s emergence as a global AI infrastructure powerhouse. Hosted by Future Summit , this curated gathering provides early access to the conversations, connections, and capital shaping Alberta’s digital economy. Attendees will gain strategic positioning ahead of Future Summit 2025 , taking place November 18–20 at the newly expanded BMO Centre. “Alberta is quickly rising as the premier global destination for next-generation AI data centres, and we’re seeing significant inbound interest from top-tier global investors. The province offers a rare combination of advantages, including lower-cost energy, a milder climate ideal for hyperscale cooling, and an abundant natural gas supply, making it uniquely positioned for scalable and sustainable infrastructure. With exponential growth in AI models and compute demand, this sector is poised to accelerate rapidly, delivering massive long-term economic benefits for Alberta going forward.” — Harish Consul , Founder & CEO, Ocgrow Ventures Featured Speakers: Carson Kearl , Lead Data Centre Analyst, Enverus (Moderator) Cory Janssen , CEO, AltaML Harish Consul , CEO, Ocgrow Ventures Ian MacGregor , Founder, North West Digital Power Pete Lafontaine , President, Rainforest Energy Wish Bakshi , AI Systems Engineer, Quant AiQ A fireside chat will be followed by Q&A and networking designed to foster collaboration ahead of major compute infrastructure announcements anticipated later this year. “Data centres can be a new, non-facilities-constrained market for Alberta natural gas. No need for permits from other jurisdictions, pipelines or LNG plants, just make our gas into photons. Our gas transmission system is more reliable than our electrical grid. We can deliver reliable power with a low-cost, non-renewable option for reduced carbon intensity by building at our brownfield gas processing sites. We can do it fast, we can do it reliably without connecting to the grid, and we can deliver the cheapest, low-carbon power in the world.” – Ian MacGregor , Founder, North West Digital Power “Alberta has attributes that make it an attractive market for data center expansion, namely abundant natural gas reserves and a welcoming political climate. While the AESO’s interconnection queue makes it clear that there is interest from infrastructure players, the next step for the province is translating that interest over to hyperscale tenants. Those tenants are almost solely focused on American and recently Middle Eastern markets.” – Carson Kearl , Lead Data Centre Analyst, Enverus Event Details July 2, 2025 | 7:30 AM – 10:30 AM MST Grab your ticket here!
