State of the Southeast Market: Has Atlanta Become the Primary Hub in the Southeast?
Atlanta saw the highest growth among the top seven data center markets. With consistent absorption in the region since 2019, this trend is indicating that Atlanta is becoming a major market in North America. As more companies continue to choose to be headquartered in Atlanta and more providers follow suit, is the region poised to reach maturity soon? What type of activity has played out in the last five years and what should we anticipate for the next five years? How big can the market get and where are the opportunities?

Entering New Markets: Understanding the Stakeholder Landscape and Exploring Where to Build Next
As data center construction continues to accelerate so is the awareness of new developments and rise of opposition. How are the leaders of economic and community development of the largest hyperscalers in the world addressing this concern? How are the conversations with local stakeholders changing? With hyperscalers in a seemingly constant phase of expansion, how are they assessing where to build next?

Development and Construction: How is Digital Infrastructure Design and Construction Evolving to Meet Today’s Dynamics and Client Needs?
Sustainability, speed-to-market and land availability are just some of the critical dimensions designers, general contractors and engineers need to consider when building digital infrastructure. What are the current client demand needs for the region relative to other markets and how is it expected to change as more developers enter the market?

Best Practices and Innovations around Operations and Engineering: How are Enterprises and Providers Optimizing IT Infrastructure to Achieve Greater Operational Cost and Efficiency?
Data center management is essentially regarded as a mature market, however, as the needs of IT users are evolving to achieve greater operational/cost efficiency, there is constant innovation taking place. How are data center environments changing to support next generation cloud infrastructures and higher densities? How is sustainability being factored into the equation?

Increasing Interest Rates, Inflation, Cost Pressures: How are These Major Economic Factors Affecting the Data Center and Digital Infrastructure Industry?
Although the data center industry is frequently regarded as ‘recession-proof’ is it not immune to the current market trends that are affecting virtually all sectors and industries. Given the current economic factors and how they stand today, what is investor sentiment on the industry for 2023?
