Why This Matters

What You'll Learn:

  • How are industry leaders managing site selection with speed to market in mind? How are potential changes to incentive programs and entitlement processes informing these decisions?
  • How is increased competition for infrastructure and resources - power, water, and fiber - driving innovation for greater efficiency? What lessons does data center alley hold for operators nationwide amidst a growing focus on sustainability across the industry?
  • How does growing density for proximity between assets - and increased rack density - driving innovation in data center design/build and footprint?
  • How has the shift in access to facilities furthered the development of AI and remote hand capabilities? 

 

How You'll Do More Business: Learn how density and market competition continues to be a limited challenge for expansion in the region, which deals are coming to the market and how industry titans are driving new trends to shape expansion intentions in this new digital surge landscape. 

 

Who You’ll Meet: Providers, investors, contractors, lawyers, consultants, brokers, end users, CEOs, vice president of construction, engineers, head of facilities, director of operations, city officials 

 

Why You Should Attend: Learn how the key data center market is leading expansion solutions that the rest of the sector will follow at the largest data center conference of the year.
