The Core 100

Life Sciences Infrastructure Forum

A private gathering for 100 of EMEA’s most influential technical leaders shaping the future of AI, HPC and data infrastructure in Life Sciences.

This year, WEKA is convening 100 of the most senior technology decision-makers across EMEA — CTOs, HPC, AI and ML architects, and infrastructure executives working at the frontier of scientific innovation. Co-hosted with Boston Limited, a leading UK provider of high-performance server, storage and networking solutions, this exclusive forum brings together the leaders defining what comes next.

The Core 100 event is deliberately designed as a closed, peer-level forum. Intimate regional roundtables. No sales pitches. No generic panels. Just senior leaders engaging in candid discussion about the high-performance infrastructure decisions that will shape the future of Life Sciences.

A closed-door forum built for real conversation

The Core 100 is intentionally designed as a peer-level environment for open, candid exchange. No sales pitches. No generic panels. No junior attendees. Just senior leaders sharing practical insight on the infrastructure decisions that will determine the next era of Life Sciences innovation.

Through intimate regional roundtables, attendees will engage in focused discussions on the challenges, trade-offs and strategic bets shaping high-performance computing and AI infrastructure today.

Can your infrastructure keep pace with your science?

Life Sciences workloads are some of the most demanding in modern computing. Genome sequencing pipelines, structural biology simulations, digital twins and generative biology are producing data at a scale that legacy architectures were never built to support. The result is familiar: bottlenecks, inefficiencies and delays that slow research, discovery and time to impact.

The question is simple:
Does your data infrastructure move at the speed your science demands?

Join WEKA and Boston Limited in London on June 11th for a private gathering of AI and technology leaders shaping the next generation of infrastructure across Europe, where we will explore how modern AI and HPC environments are being architected for performance, agility and sovereign control — and what that means for Life Sciences organisations operating at scale.

The discussions

Three critical challenges. No easy answers.

  • Power, cooling and cost pressures — how to do more with less while sustaining performance
  • GPU starvation and data bottlenecks — how to keep high-value compute fully utilised
  • Data gravity, distributed collaboration, security and compliance — how to enable innovation without compromising control

What is the event about?

This private, invitation-only executive dinner brings together senior AI, HPC and infrastructure leaders from across EMEA to discuss the high-performance data and compute decisions shaping the future of Life Sciences. In partnershipm with WEKA and Boston Limited in London on 21 April, the event will explore how modern AI and HPC environments are being designed for performance, agility, security and sovereign control.

Who should attend this Executive Dinner?

This event is designed for senior technology decision-makers in Life Sciences, including CTOs, AI and ML architects, HPC leaders, infrastructure executives and data platform leaders responsible for supporting advanced research and innovation. Attendance is curated to ensure a peer-level discussion among leaders tackling similar strategic and operational challenges.

It is particularly relevant for:

  • Chief Artificial Intelligence Officers (CAIO)
  • Chief Technology Officers (CTO)
  • Chief Data Officers (CDO)
  • Chief Information Officers (CIO)
  • Chief Innovation Officers
  • Transformation and Digital Strategy Leaders
  • CxOs, SVPs, EVPs, VPs and Heads of AI/ML, Data Infrastructure, Cloud Strategy, Technology and Digital Transformation

If you are accountable for scaling AI securely, optimising high-performance infrastructure or navigating data sovereignty requirements, this discussion is designed for you.

Why should I attend?

You will join a select group of peers for candid, closed-door discussion on the infrastructure challenges that matter most right now, from power, cooling and cost pressures to GPU utilisation, data gravity, security and compliance. Rather than sitting through sales pitches or generic panels, you will gain practical insight, exchange real-world experience and leave with a clearer view of how leading organisations are building infrastructure that can keep pace with modern science and AI innovation.

Is there a fee to attend?

No — participation is entirely free of charge.
