AI is changing how networks are designed and operated. This session explores how GPU infrastructure, AI workloads, and automation are reshaping enterprise and cloud networking, and what these shifts mean for network architecture and the future role of network engineers. Recorded at Megaport Connect 2026. Chicago | Thursday 22 October ABOUT THE SPEAKER | Roy Chua, Founder and Principal, AvidThink.

What does USD $130M of AI infrastructure look like? 1,024 NVIDIA B300 GPUs. 40,000 strands of fiber. The scale is mind-blowing. And this is just one of our smaller clusters. Need GPU capacity? Reach out to us!

See who’s spending on AI, on which models, for what work, and what you got for it. Most companies can tell you what they spent on AI last month. Very few can tell you what it bought. In this demo, we show how AI Signals captures AI usage as it happens and ties every dollar to the person, team, and work behind it, across every model and provider.

AI has become incredibly sophisticated and changed the way we build and power applications. But it has also introduced volatile complexity that challenges how we ensure reliability and protect user experiences. Join our panel of experts as they discuss the realities of building AI-powered applications. They’ll talk about how testing has evolved, share insights into how they do evals and experiments, and offer advice on how to get better visibility into how your AI is performing.
