DICE Connectivity, Edge and Telecom

Greenberg Traurig Shareholder Josh Forman will serve as moderator for the panel “Network Infrastructure Challenges Amid Growing AI Demand” at the 2025 DICE Connectivity, Edge & Telecom Conference on October 29. The panel will explore how the explosive rise of artificial intelligence is placing unprecedented strain on data center networks. Traditional infrastructure—designed for more predictable traffic and latency—is struggling to accommodate irregular data flows, massive bandwidth requirements, and the unpredictable nature of AI workloads. As GPU clusters scale and AI applications become more complex, operators are scrambling to deploy next-gen interconnects, increase switching capacity, and implement advanced cooling systems. Josh will be joined by panelists Mitch Densler, Principal Solutions Architect at OpenGear, Dan Golding, CTO & Partner at Appleby Strategy Group (ASG), Nate Hefner, Market Development Manager at Corning Optical Communications, and Lynn Smullen, SVP Comms, Media and Entertainment IT at Oracle.
