AI Infrastructure Leadership Summit

Building the Next Generation of AI Businesses

8–10 September 2026 | Barcelona, Spain

Rafay is bringing together an invitation-only group of executives from the world’s leading neoclouds, telcos, NVIDIA Cloud Partners, sovereign AI initiatives, enterprise AI platforms, and AI infrastructure ecosystem partners for a two-day leadership forum in Barcelona.

Over the last 18 months, Rafay has partnered with more than 40 companies building AI Factories across regions, industries, and use cases. Along the way, we have learned what it takes to move beyond GPU deployment and build the operating models, platform capabilities, and monetization strategies required to turn AI infrastructure into a durable business.

This summit is designed to bring those learnings into one room.

Join Rafay, NVIDIA, key ecosystem partners, and executive peers across the AI infrastructure market to discuss how organizations are scaling AI infrastructure, increasing utilization, supporting sovereign AI initiatives, and creating higher-margin services for developers, enterprises, and AI builders.

Formal invitation, registration details, agenda, and speaker lineup will be shared soon.

Why Attend

AI infrastructure has entered a new phase. The first phase was about acquiring GPUs, standing up data centers, and deploying capacity. The next phase is about operationalizing that capacity into platforms customers can consume, govern, and monetize.

The AI Infrastructure Leadership Summit will focus on the business and operational questions now shaping the market:

  • How do AI infrastructure providers move from raw GPU capacity to differentiated AI services?
  • How do neoclouds, telcos, and sovereign AI providers support enterprise-grade consumption, governance, and multi-tenancy?
  • How are leaders thinking about tokenomics, AI service monetization, and higher-margin use cases?
  • What operating models are emerging across regional AI Factories, sovereign AI clouds, and enterprise AI platforms?
  • Where do partners such as NVIDIA, Dell, Accenture, Cisco, DDN, Penguin Solutions, and others fit into the next phase of growth?

This is not a broad industry conference. It is a curated executive forum for the organizations building, operating, financing, and scaling the next generation of AI infrastructure businesses.

What to Expect

Learn from the organizations defining the market

Hear directly from operators building some of the world’s leading neoclouds, telco AI platforms, sovereign AI initiatives, and enterprise AI platforms. The forum will feature firsthand lessons from leaders who are already moving from GPU deployment to production AI services.

Gain strategic perspective from AI infrastructure experts

Rafay, NVIDIA, and ecosystem partners will share perspectives on the trends, architectures, technologies, and market forces shaping the future of AI infrastructure and AI businesses. The current event positioning calls out NVIDIA, Accenture, and other ecosystem leaders as part of the strategic perspective attendees will gain.

Explore the economics of AI infrastructure

Discussions will cover how providers are thinking about utilization, tokenomics, monetization, financing, and the shift from selling capacity to delivering higher-value AI services.

Connect with executive peers

Build relationships with leaders across neoclouds, telcos, sovereign AI providers, NVIDIA Cloud Partners, and enterprise AI platforms in a curated setting designed for candid discussion, partnership, and long-term value.

Who Should Attend

This invitation-only forum is designed for senior leaders responsible for building, operating, commercializing, or investing in AI infrastructure, including:

  • Neocloud and GPU cloud executives
  • Telco AI infrastructure leaders
  • Sovereign AI and regional cloud providers
  • NVIDIA Cloud Partners
  • Enterprise AI platform leaders
  • Infrastructure, data center, and AI ecosystem partners
  • Executives responsible for AI infrastructure strategy, monetization, partnerships, and operations

Key Themes

The summit will center on the executive decisions that determine whether AI infrastructure becomes a scalable business: how leaders prioritize investments, align partners, accelerate adoption, and create durable value from the platforms they are building.

From GPUs to AI Businesses

The market is moving beyond infrastructure deployment. Leaders now need to turn GPU capacity into self-service platforms, packaged compute services, AI APIs, and monetizable offerings.

Sovereign AI and Regional Capacity

Sovereign AI initiatives are reshaping how countries, telcos, and regional providers think about infrastructure, data control, compliance, and national AI capability.

AI Infrastructure Monetization

Providers are exploring new business models across GPU-as-a-Service, packaged compute, AI platforms, token-metered services, and model delivery.

Enterprise-Grade Operations

Multi-tenancy, governance, usage visibility, chargeback, policy enforcement, and operational control are becoming foundational requirements for AI infrastructure at scale.

Ecosystem Alignment

The next phase of AI infrastructure will depend on tighter alignment across hardware providers, platform providers, systems integrators, storage providers, networking partners, and regional operators.
