The AI revolution has ignited the fastest infrastructure expansion in human history. But in the race to build capacity, the winners won’t be those who build the biggest — they’ll be those who innovate the smartest.

From megawatt to gigawatt, from 10 kW to 100 kW racks, the data center industry is scaling at speeds once unimaginable. Every decision — in design, power, cooling, and people — must now serve an era defined by artificial intelligence.

Data Center World 2026 is where that future takes shape. This is the premier gathering of the world’s leading operators, technologists, utilities, and innovators, coming together to tackle the challenges and opportunities that will define the next decade. To support this mission, we’re expanding and enhancing the conference experience to provide broader access to the trends, solutions, and connections driving the industry forward.

There has never been a better time to be part of the data center industry. Join us at Data Center World 2026 as we celebrate the incredible growth, innovation, and collaboration shaping the future of this dynamic field. Together, we’ll build the next generation of data centers and redefine what’s possible.

Data Center World delivers expert strategy and insight on essential technologies and concepts for planning, managing, and optimizing data centers. The educational programming addresses key challenges, including legacy vs generative AI, cooling technologies, alternative energy sources, colocation, and data center automation adoption.
