Community Impact in the Digital Age
Historically underserved communities can benefit most from the ‘zero to one’ potential of digital technologies. Globally we see examples of emerging economies jump past legacy technologies and lean into the future. In Ohio, companies are building Bitcoin mining data centers that go beyond the traditional models and harness the power of heat to provide for the communities they build alongside. This panel will highlight how integrated computing projects come together at the community level and how we can scale these systems to the rest of Ohio.

Showcase: AGNT Strategic Design & Marketing

Innovation as the Spark: Ohio Builds Here
With 3 designated innovation corridors in Ohio, and a tradition of innovation in legacy sectors, Ohio is primed to lead the 21st century digital transformation. Recent
developments have led to a proliferation of computing hardware and software
applications that are redefining how our economies are shaped. This panel will explore how Ohio can continue to lead at the cutting edge of digital infrastructure development.

Innovation as the Spark: Ohio Builds Here
The growth of Ohio’s economy is significant, with no signs of slowing any time soon. How do we meet the challenge of training and preparing the workforce of tomorrow, and how do we effectively reach those traditionally underserved communities and uplift them through the digital transformation? This panel will explore what is going well in workforce development, and how we can work together to increase our ability to prepare the next generation for the jobs of tomorrow.
