Each year we invite the greatest minds and leaders of the data center industry to volunteer their time to curate our cutting-edge conference program. Who leads this impressive lineup of luminaries? I’m thrilled to announce that Bill Kleyman, CEO & Co-Founder of Apolo will be returning as our Program Chair for Data Center World 2025. Last year’s program featured 70+ sessions, 5 keynotes, and more than 160 speakers over 4 action-packed and inspirational days.
"The response we saw from last year’s AFCOM Data Center World conference was extraordinary. The energy in this industry is truly inspiring. We, as the data center community, are at a pivotal moment. Rapid innovation around density, power design, sustainability, and, of course, Generative AI have all pushed our industry into uncharted technological waters.
And that makes me incredibly excited to return as the Program Chair for the Data Center World event. We are charting these waters together to design a more robust, inclusive, and sustainable data center industry. This year, Data Center World 2025, we’ll put innovation, engineering, and data center architecture at the forefront to ensure we as a community keep up with global technology demands.”
