Compu Dynamics CEO to Discuss AI-Driven Data Center Cooling Innovations at DICE Midwest Conference

Compu Dynamics, a leading provider of data center infrastructure construction and operations services, announces its participation in the Data Center Investment Conference & Expo (DICE): Midwest, scheduled for September 25, 2025 in Chicago. Steve Altizer, President and CEO at Compu Dynamics, will discuss advancements in data center cooling as artificial intelligence transforms industry requirements. The conference, organized by Bisnow, will cover emerging development trends in Chicago and the Midwest region, innovative cooling and power strategies for next-generation chips, facility efficiency techniques, and flexible construction approaches.

Altizer will participate in the panel titled "Data Center Cooling Innovations: Preparing for the AI Era," which will explore innovations in data center cooling fueled by AI demands. The session will examine liquid-based solutions such as immersion cooling and direct-to-chip cooling technologies that are becoming essential for managing the intense heat generated by AI computing clusters. Panelists will also discuss how emerging technologies like intelligent thermal control systems are enabling facilities to handle dense AI infrastructure more efficiently and reliably while maintaining operational stability.

The discussion comes at a critical time as data centers face unprecedented cooling challenges due to the computational intensity of AI workloads. Traditional air cooling methods are proving insufficient for the power densities required by AI processors, making advanced liquid cooling solutions not just preferable but necessary for sustainable operations. The panel will provide attendees with actionable insights into implementing these technologies while networking with industry leaders including CEOs, investors, engineers, and developers from across the data center ecosystem.

Other panel participants include Mohammed Alrob, Senior Mechanical Engineer at Microsoft; Ryan Hansen, Technology Director for Hyperscale Strategic Accounts at Schneider Electric; Ryan Murto, Manager of Data Centers at Kais-AIR; and Phill Lawson-Shanks, Chief Innovation Officer at Aligned Data Centers. The session will be moderated by Jim Marsh, Key Accounts Manager for Data Center Technologies at Munters. The panel discussion is scheduled for 9:10 am to 9:50 am CDT in the Renaissance Ballroom at the Renaissance Chicago O'Hare Suites Hotel.
