CHANTILLY, VA – July 28, 2026 – Compu Dynamics, a leading provider of data center construction and operations solutions, announces its participation in the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2026, taking place Aug. 4-6 in Reston, Virginia. President and CEO Steve Altizer will participate as a panelist alongside industry leaders to examine what it takes to build, integrate, and operate AI infrastructure in actual conditions. Additionally, Kurt Haglund, COO, will participate in an interactive roundtable discussion to explore the real-world deployment lessons, emerging design patterns, and unresolved tradeoffs that operators and suppliers face as they race to stand up AI capacity.
The Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2026 is a three-day industry event focused on the future of digital infrastructure, bringing together representatives in data center operations, construction, interconnection, and AI infrastructure to share insights on the technologies and strategies shaping next-generation facilities. Altizer will take part in the panel titled, “The AI Factory in Practice: Designing and Operating at Scale.” The panelists will explore the operational realities that emerge when AI workloads go live at scale, including liquid cooling adoption, ultra-high-density deployments, commissioning and handoff risk, and the growing importance of networking, workload placement, and infrastructure orchestration in day-two operations. Later that day, Haglund will lead a structured roundtable titled “AI Data Centers: Density, Design, and the Reality of Deployment,” drawing on real-world deployment lessons to discuss what’s changing in today’s AI facilities.
