In the race to harness the power of Generative AI (GenAI) for enterprise innovation, we are confronted with a critical challenge: balancing the incredible computational demands of AI development with the urgent need for green sustainability. As GenAI continues to revolutionize industries with its potential for unprecedented creativity and efficiency, it also poses significant environmental concerns due to its energy-intensive nature. This talk will explore the delicate reconciliation between the drive for GenAI advancements and the imperative to minimize our carbon footprint. We will explore strategies for optimizing AI compute to be more energy-efficient and how enterprises can align their AI initiatives with broader sustainability goals. But the story doesn't end there. As we look to the stars, space innovation emerges as a powerful ally in our quest for sustainability. From earth observation (EO) technologies that provide critical data for environmental monitoring to the potential of data centers in space, the final frontier offers new avenues to reduce our terrestrial impact while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. What we will delve into: -The Energy Dilemma of GenAI: Exploring the environmental impact of AI compute and the need for sustainable practices in AI development. -Space as a Sustainability Catalyst: How advancements in space technology, from EO innovations to off-world data centers, can drive sustainable outcomes on Earth. -Strategic Integration: Practical approaches for enterprises to leverage both AI and space innovation in a way that accelerates progress without compromising the planet’s future.
Join us if you are passionate about driving forward-thinking solutions that don’t just meet today’s demands but also pave the way for a sustainable tomorrow - and perhaps even get into outer orbits!

A Learning Circle is an opportunity to connect with a small group of other Athena members in a focused yet casual setting, creating accountability around targeted learning to assist you in achieving your goals. Over the course of 6 sessions, club members will meet every 2 weeks to participate in an organic, peer-led discussion of the session's "chapters" consisting of 1-2 Athena salons which are to be reviewed on your own prior to the group session. When joining, members are committing to completing all 6 sessions.
Typically led by one of Athena's coaches, networking events provide members an opportunity to meet one another in a smaller intimate and virtual setting.
These are typically in-person events led by Coco and our partnering companies on topics that are relevant to the industry and audience of our business partners.
A workshop is an interactive session for members to actively practice something, such as their pitch. These sessions typically involve breakout rooms, member to member feedback and are not recorded.
For members new to Athena looking for ways to engage, these bi-weekly orientations led by an Athena Member Success Manager, provide a live tour of Athena, member success insights, and a chance to get questions answered.
Athena customizes virtual learning events with expert business leaders tailored to a unique company’s needs. These events cultivate cross-functional community, development, and learning across the partner organization.
Athena listens and we're always adding new event types and opportunities for members to engage. See what new events we are currently offering members.
