SUMMARY:Sam Richter: NAHAD Post Conference Webinar - Intel Engine & Q/A
DESCRIPTION:As AI workloads continue to drive unprecedented power densities in modern data centers\, liquid cooling systems have become increasingly complex and evermore critical. This follow-up webinar builds on a foundational overview of data center cooling hoses by moving deeper into the engineering\, selection\, and deployment considerations required for reliable cooling of AI infrastructure.   \n  \nThe session will provide a more detailed examination of hose materials\, construction\, connection methods\, and system compatibility. Emerging standards will be discussed to help participants anticipate future requirements and scale with confidence. By the end of the session\, participants will be better equipped to evaluate cooling hose performance needs\, select appropriate assemblies for AI data center environments\, and align their designs with evolving industry expectations     \n  \nKey Takeaways: At the end of this webinar you will be able to… \n\nEvaluate hose design and performance requirements\nGain understanding of how best to enter the market\nApply best practices for installation and maintenance\nAlign hose selection with emerging standards\, compliance expectations\, and scalability needs\n\nIntended Audience: Engineers\, upper level management (with decision making power regarding product lines)\, sales professionals     \n  \nLevel of Complexity: Intermediate \n  \nMEET THE MODERATOR\n  \n \n\n \nKatlyn Ricciardo started her professional career as an educator in the private sector\, managing a small team of teachers and behavioral therapists at a school for children with autism.

SUMMARY:Hose Safety Assessments – Safety & Preventative Checklist
DESCRIPTION:As AI workloads continue to drive unprecedented power densities in modern data centers\, liquid cooling systems have become increasingly complex and evermore critical. This follow-up webinar builds on a foundational overview of data center cooling hoses by moving deeper into the engineering\, selection\, and deployment considerations required for reliable cooling of AI infrastructure.   \n  \nThe session will provide a more detailed examination of hose materials\, construction\, connection methods\, and system compatibility. Emerging standards will be discussed to help participants anticipate future requirements and scale with confidence. By the end of the session\, participants will be better equipped to evaluate cooling hose performance needs\, select appropriate assemblies for AI data center environments\, and align their designs with evolving industry expectations     \n  \nKey Takeaways: At the end of this webinar you will be able to… \n\nEvaluate hose design and performance requirements\nGain understanding of how best to enter the market\nApply best practices for installation and maintenance\nAlign hose selection with emerging standards\, compliance expectations\, and scalability needs\n\nIntended Audience: Engineers\, upper level management (with decision making power regarding product lines)\, sales professionals     \n  \nLevel of Complexity: Intermediate \n  \nMEET THE MODERATOR\n  \n \n\n \nKatlyn Ricciardo started her professional career as an educator in the private sector\, managing a small team of teachers and behavioral therapists at a school for children with autism.

SUMMARY:AEA Webinar: Session 2: Macroeconomics II – Commodity and Input Prices
DESCRIPTION:As AI workloads continue to drive unprecedented power densities in modern data centers\, liquid cooling systems have become increasingly complex and evermore critical. This follow-up webinar builds on a foundational overview of data center cooling hoses by moving deeper into the engineering\, selection\, and deployment considerations required for reliable cooling of AI infrastructure.   \n  \nThe session will provide a more detailed examination of hose materials\, construction\, connection methods\, and system compatibility. Emerging standards will be discussed to help participants anticipate future requirements and scale with confidence. By the end of the session\, participants will be better equipped to evaluate cooling hose performance needs\, select appropriate assemblies for AI data center environments\, and align their designs with evolving industry expectations     \n  \nKey Takeaways: At the end of this webinar you will be able to… \n\nEvaluate hose design and performance requirements\nGain understanding of how best to enter the market\nApply best practices for installation and maintenance\nAlign hose selection with emerging standards\, compliance expectations\, and scalability needs\n\nIntended Audience: Engineers\, upper level management (with decision making power regarding product lines)\, sales professionals     \n  \nLevel of Complexity: Intermediate \n  \nMEET THE MODERATOR\n  \n \n\n \nKatlyn Ricciardo started her professional career as an educator in the private sector\, managing a small team of teachers and behavioral therapists at a school for children with autism.
