Featured Session at Yotta 2026: The Inference Economy: Repricing Digital Infrastructure

Raman Sharma, Chief Strategy Officer at Equinix, takes the stage at Yotta to tackle the shifting gravity of the AI market. Join him for this high-stakes panel as he cuts past the training cluster headlines to explore how persistent, distributed, and economically ruthless inference is rewriting the rules for digital infrastructure.

This panel brings together leading voices from strategy, infrastructure, and capital markets to explore how the economics of AI are recalibrating.

  • What happens when utilization matters more than peak performance?
  • How do financing models evolve as workloads diversify and hardware cycles accelerate?
  • Will inference drive infrastructure closer to users, reshape interconnection and colocation strategies, or force a rethink of ownership models altogether?

 

Panel Speakers: 

  • Raman Sharma, Chief Strategy Officer - Equinix
  • Mike Maniscalco, Chief Executive Officer - QumulusAI
  • Neil Tiwari, Managing Director - Magnetar
