The event will celebrate:
- Reaching more than 100 EES2 Pledgers (with Stanford as the #100 signer)
- The launch of the EES2 Alliance with initial allies
- The public release of the EES2 R&D Roadmap on Computing Energy Efficiency–Executive Summary
The program will highlight the Initiative’s progress through new partnerships and other recent developments across the EES2 network featuring remarks from:
- Michael Kratsios, director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and science advisor to the President, and other senior officials from the U.S. federal agencies, including the Department of Energy
- Leaders from the microelectronics, computing and AI data center industries
- Other initial EES2 allies
The agenda will include dynamic panel discussions with senior technologists from the EES2 community on driving use cases for microelectronics energy efficiency such as extreme full stack co-design technology options and more community-friendly and sustainable data centers.
