From site selection to commissioning: a dinner for the leaders who own the whole build.

A private dinner for data center site selection, development, and construction program leaders — hosted by Matt Craske, former Head of Global Program Controls at Google

  • Date: October 15, 2026

  • Time: 6–9 PM

  • Location: Birdsong, San Francisco

  • Seats: Limited to 20

Two-thirds of downstream construction issues originate from what owners fail to capture before ground breaks. Site selection is where that record starts — or doesn't. At Google, that record started at site selection and ran through progress verification, invoice validation, and operations handover.

This dinner is limited to 20 data center owners, developers, and construction program leaders. No panels. No product demos. A peer conversation around a table on how leading teams use reality capture to de-risk site decisions, verify progress without traveling to the site, avoid costly disputes, and maintain a defensible record from due diligence through commissioning.

WHAT WE'LL COVER

  • Using aerial surveys to compare candidate sites and quantify earthworks risk before committing capital

  • Reducing due diligence timelines from weeks to days

  • Verifying construction progress and installed work without traveling to the site

  • How to validate invoices and avoid disputes with a visual record — not a GC's word

  • Building an owner-controlled record that travels from due diligence through commissioning

WHY THIS ROOM

Site selection is where millions in risk are locked in before a GC is ever engaged. Construction is where that risk compounds — or gets caught. The leaders in this room own both. This dinner is for the teams who need a consistent, defensible record of what's actually on the ground — starting before ground breaks and running through handover.

Matt managed reality capture across more than 80 data center projects globally — from site due diligence through operations handover. He'll share how Google built a visual data program that scaled without scaling headcount, and what that model looks like for teams building at speed today.

SEATS ARE LIMITED TO 20.
