Conference & Event Schedule
Celebrating 22 Years of Leading the Debate in London
Every year the DCD production team builds a conference program that addresses the most important challenges facing the digital infrastructure community. We invite industry experts to share their insights with our audience and allow space for debates and interactive discussion.
The conference plays out alongside structured meetings and informal networking opportunities that guarantee a delegate is exposed to new ideas and that they make meaningful connections with their peer group.
Major themes for 2023 include:
- Supply chain disruption and transformation
- Sustainability and the carbon reporting challenge
- Workforce evolution and the talent collapse
- Impact of recession on digital infrastructure investment decisions
