Why DCD>Sydney?

After 11 years of annual conferences for the data center industry in Sydney, one of APAC’s leading data center hubs, COVID-19 has changed the world & changed what we do. As a result, we will be hosting this year's DCD>Sydney as an immersive virtual conference that will prepare you and your business for the oncoming challenges of a post-pandemic digital world. Major topics that we'll be discussing include:

• Sustainability and the journey towards truly efficient data centers
• How COVID-19 and technological acceleration are impacted hyperscale, data center and cloud
• How standards of innovation, customer focus and compliance are being re-drawn

.....and much more. Broadcasting on 6-7 October, DCD>Sydney will bring together the major players from the A&NZ data center ecosystem to discuss the future in-front of and with an anticipated audience of more than 1,500 professionals.
