7x24 New England Chapter

So proud of Annie J. Kemp, AIA - our extraordinary Membership/Communications Director for her recognition as a #im100!

We want to express our sincere gratitude to 80+ who joined us for our event yesterday. We started off with our Annual Chapter Review, celebrating the success of our four sold-out events, including our first-ever Golf Tournament. We are excited to share that next year, we’ll continue offering four major events: - April: Data Center Hackathon for High Schoolers - July 16: Annual Networking Event - September 11: Golf Event at Pinehills - November 12: Our Third Annual Tech Forum The main feature of the event was the keynote by Jeremy Shook, PE, PMP, Principal Consultant at Black & Veatch. Jeremy’s presentation on "What's the Future for Powering Data Centers?" provided a detailed breakdown of the various power methods, including gas, nuclear, and on-site power generation. His thorough technical insights into the primary sources of power, as well as an explanation of nuclear fission and its place in the future of data centers, helped us understand the need for change in how we power our facilities. This was followed by an engaging panel discussion with Jeremy, Rich Okoney, CRL from JLL, and Dennis Julian PE, ATD, DCEP from Digital Realty, diving deeper into the future of powering data centers. As always, we’d like to extend a huge thank you to our amazing volunteers who helped bring the event to life: Aheli Purkayastha, Sara Martin, Tom Stachowski, P.E., Annie J. Kemp, AIA, Sophia Pike, EIT, Zach Dlouhy, Ryan Hill, Mario Mansano, MBA, Lucas Rowe, Joe Szabo, Jennifer Thompson, Megan Wolfe.
