Join Heatmap Labs and Mintz for a webinar exploring how the rapid growth of AI is driving demand for data centers and creating new challenges around power, site selection, zoning, and development.

Leveraging strategic insight from Mintz and new data from Heatmap Pro Director Alison Ellz, we'll discuss how developers are navigating grid constraints, energy sourcing, permitting, community concerns, and evolving policies across the country to responsibly build the digital infrastructure of the 21st century.

This conversation reflects one of the key issues driving today’s energy transition and expands on a theme at the center of Mintz’s fifth annual Energy Transition Summit.
