The rules and regulations, policy, myths and debates surrounding data center expansion are playing out in our region, so TALK will bring you a panel weighing in on some of the pros, cons, myths, legislation proposed and on the books, and what’s ahead in this deep dive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we proceed into this age of AI growth and acceleration, all agree that data centers are going to expand to serve us. But data centers have become a major economic issue across the US as the AI economy rushes forward, and construction continues to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data centers have sparked all kinds of debates leading to outright bans in some counties, discussion around our electric grid and consumer rates, water usage, property values, jobs — before, during and after, and concerns that impact rural economies as well as city life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A team of seasoned tech professionals will examine the landscape of data center activity, what’s happening in our commonwealth, and what facts you can take away after a night of discussion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
