Northern Virginia, a major D.C. suburb, has been called the data center capital of the world.

While Loudoun County, primarily Ashburn, continues to process upward of 70% of the world’s daily internet traffic, there are talks of the region nearing capacity limits due to the demand for artificial intelligence, land availability and community patience. This bottleneck is accelerating the interest of investors and developers in creating new hubs across the U.S. and overseas.

Data center professionals can learn how to navigate this changing landscape at Bisnow’s DICE National event at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Rockville, Maryland. The three-day summit from May 12-14 will feature key industry players discussing market trends and where investors are deploying billions of dollars for the next generation of facilities.
