InfraXmedia, a progressive B2B media and events platform for the digital infrastructure industry and the parent company of DatacenterDynamics (DCD) and Yotta events, announces its acquisition of Data Center Nation (DCN.)

This deal enhances the ability of the combined businesses to support growth in emerging national markets and further reinforces its position as a global leader in information and networking services for this exciting sector.

Founded in 2021, DCN has quickly established itself as a key player in national data center ecosystems across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), with flagship events in Milan, Warsaw, Zurich, Dubai, and Riyadh. By focusing on the specific requirements of emerging data center hubs, DCN has created value for stakeholders in geographies that present favorable conditions to develop sovereign cloud, IoT, and AI-ready data centers.

"Data Center Nation's agile approach to data center events perfectly complements InfraXmedia’s international network and other market-leading brands," said Davide Ortisi, CEO at Data Center Nation, who will continue to lead the business. "The partnership will boost DCN’s portfolio of existing events as well as support new launches to help buyers better connect with sellers in a time of pressure for the data center supply chain globally."

“We are delighted to continue developing the InfraXmedia platform to better serve our customers and global audiences at a time of unprecedented investment into the data center, networks and other parts of the digital infrastructure ecosystem,” said George Rockett, Managing Partner, InfraXmedia and founder of DatacenterDynamics.

“We look forward to working with Davide and the team to support future growth opportunities.”

DatacenterDynamics has been connecting digital infrastructure buyers and sellers for 25 years and reaches 15 million data center professionals every year.

It is the most-read data center publication globally. The acquisition of DCN will strengthen DCD’s presence in emerging markets and reinforce its reputation as a go-to source for industry insights, trends, and corporate learning.

"This acquisition represents a significant step in furthering our vision to develop a more data-driven business model that connects the right people at the right time and that is more reflective of the trillion-dollar industry we serve," said Jose Friebel, Chief Growth Officer at DCD and InfraXmedia. "As the data center supply chain rapidly evolves to meet the demands of AI, this partnership further enhances our ability to connect buyers with sellers at even more locations across the globe.”

The combined event series attracts more than 25,000 attendees annually.
