Mehdi Paryavi speaks internationally on the digital economy, artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, data centers, energy, digital sovereignty and the forces shaping technology-led economic development.
His engagements include keynotes, executive panels, industry forums, webinars and conversations with leaders across government, technology and infrastructure.
Mehdi chaired two panels at ITW 2026, held at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center: a morning session on aligning international AI policy, and a keynote panel on how sovereign AI and sovereign cloud ambitions intersect with the global edge-cloud infrastructure build-out.
Held alongside NVIDIA's GTC 2026 conference, Mehdi joined this session on sovereign AI hubs — discussing how national AI models, data sovereignty and geopolitics intersect with the global demand for compute, and where data center capacity is headed next.
Mehdi moderated a VIP keynote fireside chat between H.E. Ali Al Shidhani (Undersecretary, Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, Oman) and Imad Matarneh (Chairman, King Hussein Business Park), on how large-scale regional data center ecosystems are planned and governed.
