Compute Unfiltered: Silicon Saloon

Cold Drinks & Hot Takes: Welcome to the Silicon Saloon This Stampede, Alberta finds itself at the centre of one of the biggest questions in the world today: where's the next generation of AI infrastructure going to get built? To help answer this question, Simply Silicon and Internet Backyard are bringing the operators, investors, builders, utilities, landowners, and infrastructure leaders working on it together under one roof. Or in this case on one rooftop. Cowbell Debates: When the cowbell rings, two experts step up for unfiltered hot takes on the biggest questions in the AI infra business today. Two minutes is enough to sear your hair clean off, so bring a stetson. Hot Tables: Meet with industry leaders directly and ask them what they really think about the future of compute. Barriers are low, openness is high, and nothing is off limits. This is your chance. To make everybody comfortable going no holds barred, our boot-scooting boogie is off-the-record — no recordings, no PR, no BS allowed. Come hear the arguments, challenge the assumptions, and help shape the future of Alberta and AI. An open bar runs all afternoon. Canapés will be passed. The music will be exceptional. Strong opinions are encouraged. Dancing is not optional. YEEHAW! Your Hosts: Simply Silicon: Simply Silicon operates air-gapped AI inference infrastructure in major cities. Internet Backyard: Financial infrastructure for compute providers. Quote-to-cash, billing automation, and settlement rails for inference, neoclouds and colocation operators.
