Agenda
Celebrating 17 years of leading the discussion in the data centre industry
Every year, DCD's content team creates a conference programme that addresses the most important challenges facing the digital infrastructure community. We invite industry experts to share their views with our audience and allow a space for interactive debates and discussions.
The conference runs alongside structured meetings and networking opportunities that ensure an attendee has access to new ideas and makes meaningful connections with other industry professionals.
Among the main topics of this edition are:
- The role of the Nordic countries as an example of environmental sustainability
- The development of incentives and regulations for the Data Centre sector in Europe.
- What factors make the Valencia Region a unique enclave in which to install a Data Centre?
- Are we ready to deliver the infrastructure that global connectivity demands?
- How are partnerships driving the data centre sector globally?
