About this event
The Hardware Behind the AI Buildout
Hosted by Reuse
Tech
BC and Vancouver Tech Journal
AI ambitions are running into a physical reality. Every model deployment and copilot rollout raises a hardware question: what to buy, keep, or retire, and what it really costs. For the first time in years, hardware strategy is back on the CIO’s agenda.
We’ll cover:
Refresh cycles: Do AI workloads justify faster refreshes, or are we retiring hardware too early?
The real cost of AI capacity: On-prem, cloud, or hybrid, and where the hidden costs are.
Managing fleets at scale: Tracking and planning across thousands of devices as needs shift.
The lifecycle question: How reuse, redeployment, and responsible disposition protect budgets and sustainability goals.
Procurement meets sustainability: What a circular approach to IT looks like in practice.
The discussion will be followed by dinner, drinks and networking!
Who should attend: CI
Os, IT and infrastructure leaders, IT asset managers, and procuremen
