Doing More With What You Have:
The New Economics of AI Infrastructure

Executive Breakfast Roundtable in Abu Dhabi

As AI workloads continue to scale, a quiet challenge is emerging: the data and storage layer is increasingly becoming the constraint that limits what GPU infrastructure can actually deliver.

The question is no longer simply how powerful your compute is — it’s whether your data platform can feed it efficiently enough to justify the investment.

This invite-only Executive Breakfast Roundtable, taking place in Abu Dhabi on 25 June, brings together senior leaders from WEKA and Core42 to explore a more considered conversation about AI infrastructure value — one that moves beyond raw performance metrics and into the practicalities of token efficiency, GPU utilisation, and responsible capital deployment.

What We'll Cover

  • Getting more from existing infrastructure
    For most organisations, wholesale replacement is neither practical nor necessary. We’ll explore how introducing a fast tier-zero scratch layer on top of existing GPU clusters can materially improve utilisation and training performance — releasing significant value from infrastructure already commissioned and paid for.
  • Selecting a data platform built to keep pace
    GPU performance is advancing rapidly, generation over generation. The storage architecture chosen today must be capable of feeding tomorrow’s accelerators without itself becoming the constraint. We’ll examine what decisions genuinely future-proof an AI platform as compute continues to evolve.
  • Protecting prior investment while enabling what’s next
    Organisations that deployed AI platforms two or three years ago should not need to start again. We’ll discuss how a lightweight orchestration layer, introduced between GPU servers and existing storage, can substantially improve returns while preserving compatibility and avoiding stranded capital expenditure.

What is the event about?

This invitation-only Executive Breakfast Roundtable is designed for senior technology and infrastructure leaders.

The discussion will explore how organisations can unlock greater value from existing AI infrastructure by improving GPU utilisation, token efficiency, data-layer performance, and return on deployed capital.

As AI workloads scale, the data and storage layer is increasingly becoming the constraint on GPU performance. This closed-door, peer-level breakfast will examine how leaders can reduce bottlenecks, protect prior investment, and build AI platforms ready for the next generation of accelerated compute.

Who should attend this Executive Dinner?

This event is particularly relevant for executives focused on unlocking more value from existing AI infrastructure by improving GPU utilisation, token efficiency and data-layer performance.

It is particularly relevant for:

  • Chief AI Officers, Chief Technology Officers, Chief Data Officers and Chief Information Officers
  • Chief Digital, Innovation, Transformation, Automation, AI Governance and AI Ethics Officers
  • Heads and VPs of AI, Machine Learning, Generative AI, Applied AI, MLOps and Data Science
  • Heads of Cloud, Infrastructure, Engineering, Technology, Storage and Data Centre Operations
  • Data, governance and architecture leaders responsible for enterprise AI platforms
  • Founders, executive sponsors and senior leaders accountable for AI infrastructure investment and transformation

If you are accountable for scaling AI platforms, improving infrastructure efficiency, protecting prior technology investment or ensuring GPU deployments deliver measurable business value, this discussion is designed for you.

Why should I attend?

AI infrastructure value is no longer about how much GPU capacity you have — but how effectively you use it.

This invitation-only Executive Breakfast Roundtable is designed for senior leaders focused on improving GPU utilisation, token efficiency, data-layer performance and capital efficiency.

You will leave with:

  • Clearer insight into how data bottlenecks impact AI performance and ROI.
  • Practical ways to unlock more value from existing GPU infrastructure.
  • A peer-level exchange on scaling AI without unnecessary replacement or stranded investment.

Is there a fee to attend?

No — participation is entirely free of charge.
