NVIDIA’s Pete Coticchia will join Dr. Basu for an exclusive executive fireside chat exploring AI factories, token economics, next-generation connectivity, and the future of AI infrastructure.

BOSTON and LEESBURG, Va., July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Connected World LIVE! (TCWLIVE! 2026) is pleased to announce that Dr. Sanjay Basu, Senior Director, GPU & Gen AI Solutions & Services – Cloud Engineering at Oracle and Pete Coticchia, Global Head of Business Development & Go-to-Market (GTM) for Oracle Cloud at NVIDIA, will headline the event’s opening executive program with a keynote presentation and exclusive fireside chat on Wednesday, September 9, 2026.

Bringing together two respected industry leaders at the forefront of AI infrastructure, the sessions will examine how advances in accelerated computing, networking, connectivity, and digital infrastructure are reshaping the future of AI deployment at a global scale.

Dr. Basu will open the conference with his keynote, “Designing AI Factories for Inference: Token Economics, Data Center Design, and Next-Generation Connectivity.” Drawing on his experience in cloud engineering and GPU infrastructure, he will explore the industry’s transition from AI model training to AI inference and explain why token economics—the cost, speed, and efficiency of generating AI tokens—is emerging as the defining metric for next-generation digital infrastructure. The keynote will also examine how AI factories require new approaches to connectivity, networking, and data center architecture to support AI at unprecedented scale.

Immediately following the keynote, Dr. Basu will be joined by Pete Coticchia for an exclusive executive fireside chat, “The Evolution of NVIDIA AI Platforms and the Future of AI Infrastructure,” moderated by Vinay Nagpal, CEO of IG Group.

Together, Basu and Coticchia will explore the evolution of NVIDIA’s AI computing platforms—from Hopper and Blackwell through Vera Rubin, Rubin Ultra, and Feynman—and discuss how each generation is transforming data center architecture, networking, connectivity, power, cooling, and the design of next-generation AI factories. The conversation will also examine the growing challenge of scaling AI infrastructure, where high-bandwidth, low-latency, and energy-efficient interconnects across GPUs, clusters, campuses, and cloud regions have become essential for delivering performant and economically efficient AI inference.

“The AI industry is entering a pivotal new phase as organizations transition from building models to deploying AI at a global scale,” said Dr. Sanjay Basu, Senior Director, GPU & Gen AI Solutions & Services – Cloud Engineering at Oracle. “I’m looking forward to discussing how AI factories, token economics, and next-generation connectivity are redefining digital infrastructure, and to continuing that conversation alongside Pete.”

“Every generation of accelerated computing creates new possibilities—and new infrastructure challenges,” said Pete Coticchia, Global Head of Business Development & Go-to-Market (GTM) for Oracle Cloud at NVIDIA. “I’m excited to join Dr. Basu to explore how NVIDIA’s AI platforms are influencing the evolution of data centers, networking, power, cooling, and AI factories, and what these innovations mean for the future of AI infrastructure.”

“The opening keynote and fireside chat bring together two industry leaders who are helping define the next era of AI infrastructure,” said Jasmine Bedi, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of InterGlobix Magazine. “These sessions will provide attendees with valuable perspectives on the technologies, architectures, and strategic decisions shaping the future of AI, making them a must-attend part of TCWLIVE! 2026.”

“As AI continues to transform every sector of the economy, conversations like these are more important than ever,” said Ben Edmond, CEO of Connectbase. “We’re delighted to welcome Dr. Basu and Pete Coticchia to The Connected World LIVE! and look forward to the insights they’ll share with our attendees.”

Together, the keynote and fireside chat will provide senior executives, technology leaders, infrastructure providers, and enterprise decision-makers with a comprehensive look at the innovations shaping the future of AI infrastructure—from AI factories and token economics to next-generation connectivity, system architecture, and the technologies required to enable scalable AI inference worldwide.

The Connected World LIVE! 2026 will take place September 8–11, 2026, at the Marriott Marquis Chicago, bringing together global leaders across data centers, connectivity, cloud, AI infrastructure, and digital transformation for four days of executive discussions, networking, and industry collaboration.

LeapXpert and Carahsoft Partner to Bring Governed Messaging Solutions to the Public Sector

Advanced Communications Platform Now Available to Federal, State and Local Government Agencies

NEW YORK and RESTON, Va., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LeapXpert, the leader in Governed Communication Intelligence, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership to bring governed messaging to the Public Sector. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as LeapXpert’s Master Government Aggregator®, making The LeapXpert Communications Platform available to Federal, State and Local Government agencies through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract and The Quilt contracts.

Government officials increasingly rely on consumer messaging channels, including WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage and SMS, to communicate with colleagues, constituents and external stakeholders. Yet many agencies lack the infrastructure needed to capture, govern and archive these conversations in accordance with National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) record retention requirements, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) obligations and broader Federal security mandates. The result is a growing compliance gap between how Public Sector employees communicate and what agencies can account for.

The LeapXpert Communications Platform enables secure communication across consumer messaging channels while capturing conversations in real time, allowing organizations to apply policy and governance as communications take place. LeapXpert serves hundreds of enterprise customers and hundreds of thousands of employees and professionals across 50 countries, spanning financial services, Government and the Forbes Global 2000.

“Federal employees are already having these conversations on WhatsApp and Signal. Until now, the record of them lived on a personal phone, outside every system meant to protect it,” said Avi Pardo, Co-Founder and CBO at LeapXpert. “Government is now our fastest-growing segment, and the demand is arriving faster than a direct sales motion can meet it. Carahsoft brings the agency relationships and the contract reach to close that gap, and its reseller and value-added partner community extends it further than we could build on our own timeline.”

“Government agencies need secure, governed communications across the messaging channels their employees already rely on,” said Brian O’Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft. “LeapXpert’s Communications Platform provides agencies with a scalable path to integrate governed messaging across their organization, providing a solution that meets Federal security and compliance requirements. Together with our reseller partners, Carahsoft and LeapXpert are delivering Government-grade, mission-ready messaging security across the Public Sector.”

LeapXpert’s solutions are available through Carahsoft’s TIPS Contract #220105, OMNIA Partners Contract #R240303, E&I Contract #EI00063~2021MA and The Quilt Master Service Agreement Number MSA05012019-F. For more information, contact the Carahsoft Team at (703) 889-9710 or LeapXpert@carahsoft.com. Learn more about LeapXpert’s solutions here.
