Why You Need To Be At the Canadian Data Centre Conference and Expo

Why This Matters

Canada's pitch to global data center capital used to be simple: cheaper power, more available land, less friction than the US. That pitch is being rewritten in real time. Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and BC have each moved to ration power to data centers in the last year, institutional capital has split between funds moving in aggressively and funds walking away on price, and equipment lead times are now creating as much schedule risk as grid access. If you're making a decision about where to build, lease, invest or supply into this market, you need a current read on where growth is actually happening, how projects are getting powered under new provincial rules, and what's changing in the contracts and construction timelines that get a project from ground to grand opening. DICE Canada brings the people solving these problems from every angle, engineering, legal, capital, construction and procurement, onto one stage.

What You'll Learn

  • Where Toronto, Montreal and Calgary are diverging as markets, and what's actually driving demand and capital allocation in each

  • Why some of Canada's largest institutional investors are moving into data center infrastructure aggressively while others are publicly walking away on price

  • How developers are designing around provincial power rationing, from on-site generation to behind-the-meter deals, and what's changing in the contracts that structure them

  • What's actually sitting on a twelve-month lead time right now, and how procurement delays are reshaping lease terms and MSAs that were never built to account for them

  • Where the real risk sits when power and equipment both become conditional, and who ends up bearing it in the deal structure

  • What the next twelve to eighteen months look like for Canadian data center growth, and which assumptions from the last few years no longer hold

Who You'll Network With

Investors and capital allocators active in Canadian digital infrastructure, developers and owners with projects underway in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and BC, engineers and technical consultants specializing in mission-critical and power infrastructure, energy and real estate counsel, general contractors and equipment suppliers, utility and grid-adjacent stakeholders, and operators and tenant-side representatives navigating leases and MSAs in a constrained market.
