The Must-Attend Data Center Event of the Year

By participating in Data Center World, you can access the full spectrum of data center industry stakeholders – from data center leaders responsible for managing the data center environment to the solution providers powering data center innovation to the energy, construction, government, investor, and analyst sectors. The collective intellectual power and market connections of a global membership association, AFCOM, also affords both helpful networking opportunities and answers to attendees’ greatest challenges.

Data Center World isn’t just a conference. It’s an opportunity to meet with leading solution providers, attend technical labs, and speak with a collective of like-minded and connected individuals who are shaping the future of the data center industry. By attending Data Center World, you’re making an investment in your career as well as an investment in your company’s success by gathering valuable information that can advance your data center strategy.

The pace of innovation in the data center space is staggering and the pressure of micro-shifts - where data center managers have 30-60 days to implement new ideas and technologies versus the typical 12-24 months of the past – is real. Attend the one industry event that covers the full spectrum of data center market trends that matter most.
