Everyone wants to build frontier AI, but purpose-built AI clouds are structurally different from general-purpose hyperscalers built for everything else.
For AI infrastructure, MLOps, platform and technology leaders.
A cloud designed to run every workload well runs none of them optimally, and at frontier scale that gap stops being an efficiency footnote and starts determining what is affordable to attempt at all.
That is the starting point for this series. Not a product session, and not a briefing. A table of senior people working through where general-purpose infrastructure is quietly capping their ambition, and what a purpose-built alternative changes about planning.
Six cities across APAC, between October and November 2026. Each table runs under the Chatham House Rule.
CoreWeave Q2 2026 earnings release, 11 August 2026. The intake sheet flagged this as fast moving, so recheck before go live.
Each table works through the same three questions, shaped by what the room brings to them.
The first question is honest accounting: how often a training or inference plan is shaped by what is available rather than what is needed, and what that has cost in time already.
// tension: the roadmap is being written by the queueThis session looks at how each organisation benchmarks, whether those benchmarks survive contact with their real workload, and what they would need to see to move.
// differentiator: architected for large-scale training and inferenceThe table works through how much of their planning depends on being early to new hardware, and whether their current provider relationship actually delivers that.
// context: multi-year capacity agreements at frontier scaleEach city is its own table with its own room, confirmed independently. Registration of interest is open now, with dates and venues confirmed city by city.
CoreWeave is built on the conviction that AI is foundational to every industry and that realising its full potential requires a purpose-built platform.

CoreWeave did not start as a cloud provider, which is part of why it is shaped differently from one. The infrastructure was built around a single class of workload rather than generalised down to fit everything.
It now describes itself as the Essential Cloud for AI, a purpose-built hyperscaler used by leading AI labs, startups and global enterprises.

Innovatus Media is a Sydney based B2B events agency that runs invitation-only executive roundtable series across APAC, EMEA and North America.
We convene senior decision makers for closed door conversations on the problems they are actually working on, and produce every element of the series end to end, from the room and the table to the follow up.
