Data centers are dominating headlines, community meetings and social media feeds across Missouri. But what's signal, and what's noise? The conversation is moving fast-and it's often missing the nuance that business leaders actually need to make sense of what data centers could means for our region, our infrastructure, and our future. Biz 417 is bringing together a panel of experts to do something the internet can't: slow down, go deep and get real. This isn't a rally. It's not a protest. It's a briefing*. 

You'll leave with a sharper understanding of:

• What data centers actually are-and the wide range of what they can be. 
• The economic, infrastructure and community tradeoffs that don't make it into the headlines.
• What's at stake for Southwest Missouri if we engage, and if we don't.
• What questions every business leader should be asking right now.
