WHY THIS EVENT MATTERS
What You'll Learn
- Denver alone has a total of 83.3MW of data center inventory, with an additional 8MW in construction or planned. Colorado Springs has 6MW in construction or planned. Learn how much more growth is expected in these secondary markets.
- Attendees can gain valuable knowledge about the unique dynamics of the Colorado and greater Rocky Mountain region - including Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico - and how it compares to other secondary markets like Phoenix and Atlanta.
- There are a range of data center sites from Aurora to Colorado springs, learn about selection strategies for each region, what customers are looking for and the latest update on state incentives.
- Colorado's favorable geographical and environmental conditions, including stable seismic zone and cool climate, make it an attractive destination for data center development. Attendees will learn more about these advantages and if this is enough to encourage more development.
- With water scarcity becoming an increasing challenge in the region, learn how are developers looking to decrease their energy consumption and increase efficiency, and what some best practices may be.
- Attendees will learn about the design and engineering trends that are taking place given the continued supply chain disruption and the increasing commoditization of AI.

State of the Rocky Mountain Market: Exploring the Dynamics of Denver’s Data Center Market And Surrounding Regions
With 83.3MW of data center inventory in Denver, and an additional 8MW in construction or planned and 6MW in Colorado Springs, the region is continuing to grow as a secondary hub. However, with power and land constraints continuing to be a struggle across primary markets, developers are starting to assess their stance on the region. How are the dynamics playing out today? What are we seeing in this region compared to other secondary markets like Phoenix and Atlanta?

The Great Balancing Act: How Developers and Service Providers Are Balancing Sustainability With Ever Increasing Power Consumption and Energy Requirements
Sustainability and energy usage is and will continue to be at the forefront of the data center industry for the foreseeable future. Today, data center operators are feeling the pressure to use less natural resources, while at the same time, increasing their total data center footprint by magnitudes to meet customer demand. How are developers and service providers applying sustainable practices as they continue to service the immense power demand? How is this being done effectively?
