What Does Our Future Look Like? A Discussion About Data Centers, AI, and Communities

Virtual Event
Friday, August 14, 2026 | 8:00 am 9:00 am PDT

Postponed from 8/7

AI needs serious computing power, and that demand hits close to home. Along the same lines, the facilities that house them, aka our data centers, are also top of mind for most people.

In this week’s Summer Series, we’re listening and learning about how AI and data centers are shaping local conversations around energy, water, and sustainability. How do we power the future without straining our grids and natural resources? How can tech and local neighborhoods thrive together?

This webinar is proudly dedicated to the memory of Pliny Fisk III, a true pioneer whose visionary work reshaped the landscape of sustainable architecture and regenerative design. As the co-founder of the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems, he spent over half a century challenging conventional wisdom by developing groundbreaking eco-friendly materials and life-cycle protocols. His relentless commitment to balancing human systems with the natural world serves as the ultimate inspiration for our discussions this week.

Panelists:
Janna Goebel, Arizona State University
Lindsay Baker, International Living Future Institute
Natalie Grillon, Open Supply Hub

Moderator: Sunni Wissmer, Epic Cleantec
