Landlords drive capital investments, operations teams influence daily energy and waste performance, event spaces manage high-impact usage, and schools shape long-term behavior change. This discussion brings these perspectives together to explore shared challenges, points of friction, and opportunities for collaboration. By connecting leaders across the built environment, the conversation will highlight practical solutions to accelerate building decarbonization and create a more sustainable future for NYC.

Panel 2: Responsible AI at Scale: Bridging Tech Innovation, Responsible Technology & Climate featuring Okta, AWS & Salesforce
Â
The race to scale AI infrastructure creates real tension: how do you deploy capacity at the speed the market demands while doing so responsibly? This panel tackles both sides. First, the infrastructure challenge: designing and operating data centers with resource efficiency and environmental stewardship as core guiding principles. Second, the governance imperative: upholding rigorous standards for human rights, data privacy, and responsible AI as these systems grow. Presenters will discuss how organizations can pursue scale and responsibility not as tradeoffs, but as integrated disciplines.
