Power, AI, Security, and the Future: The Game-Changing Data Center Trends for 2026

The data center industry has never moved faster — or grown bigger. 2026 marks a defining year where AI acceleration, power constraints, cybersecurity risks, and sustainability pressures are converging to reshape digital infrastructure on a global scale. From hyperscale demand and 100 kW+ racks to next-generation cooling systems, grid transformation, and new layers of physical and logical security, operators are rewriting the playbook for how capacity is built, powered, and protected.


Join Bill Kleyman, Executive Chair of Data Center Programs at Informa and host of Data Center World, for an exclusive look at the forces transforming the industry. Bill will share fresh insights from the newly released AFCOM State of the Data Center Report and key updates from the Data Center World POWER event in San Antonio — including what’s driving record-breaking demand, how leaders are defending infrastructure from evolving threats, and how operators are staying ahead in this new AI-powered era.

You’ll also gain insights from Luke Cava, Application Sales Engineer for Vaisala, as he delves into the sustainability demands shaping the industry and highlights how accurate environmental measurements are helping data centers respond effectively.
