Who Controls the Future of Data in Texas?
A private, invitation-only convening for policy leaders, infrastructure operators, capital partners, and global technology companies — aligning around the future of AI infrastructure in Texas.
Panels carry tension, the audience feels the stakes, and the after-room becomes strategic rather than social.
How does Texas scale data center and AI growth without breaking trust with its grid, water systems, or local communities?
CapaCITY is a recurring institutional forum. Each edition sharpens the conversation and compounds in authority.
