Buffalo, NY – Sept. 15, 2026 – Mod42, a provider of factory-built modular AI data centers engineered for speed, today announced that Chief Revenue Officer Valerie Crafton will moderate the panel “Beyond Prefab: Building the Factory Model for AI Infrastructure” at Yotta 2026 on Wednesday, Sept. 30, in Las Vegas.
During the session, Crafton will moderate a discussion on moving beyond conventional prefabrication toward a repeatable, factory-based model for delivering AI infrastructure at scale. The panel will explore how AI-driven engineering, design standardization, manufacturing discipline and supply-chain coordination could help the industry achieve the speed and repeatability of AI infrastructure demands. Panelists will also examine where standardization makes sense, where customization still matters and whether current commercial and procurement models are standing in the way.
