2025 has seen rapid acceleration across the compute landscape - from advanced GPUs and AI-optimized silicon to distributed cloud and edge infrastructures. Global markets are experiencing exponential growth, with the neocloud revolution reshaping how businesses build, deploy, and scale digital environments. In tandem, enterprises are racing to match the right compute architectures with AI-driven workloads.

In response, we’re evolving our DCD>Compute series to reflect the expanded ecosystem and technical innovations  accelerating compute innovation worldwide. The series retains all the expert-led insights, experiential networking and best-in-class technology discovery you’ve experienced in 2025, next year’s programs introduce an enhanced speaker line up, more interactive sessions, and expanded opportunities for deep collaboration. 

Introducing The Xcelerated Compute Show 

With the tech stack moving faster than buyers can evaluate, The Xcelerated Compute Show is an independent, worldwide roadshow redefining how the industry unlocks  increased performance and efficiency to facilitate  the next generation of compute performance. 

With stops in New York, London, Cancun and Sao Paulo scheduled for 2026, we’ll be bringing together the entire ecosystem, including end users, technology vendors, and channel partners for two days of unbiased discussion and industry collaboration designed to cut through the noise, validate decision making and accelerate deployment to meet AI demand. 

Jose Friebel, Chief Growth Officer, InfraXmedia said, “The future of compute is here, and it’s moving too fast for anyone to stand still. Following a successful launch in 2025, we’re excited to be evolving the DCD>Compute series in 2026.”

“The industry needs an independent platform dedicated to actionable insights on AI and scalable infrastructure. As part of the InfraXMedia group, alongside DCD & SDxCentral, our deep global reach - with over 26 million readers per year across both platforms - means we’re uniquely positioned to bring together the global players validating and deploying accelerated compute. Hosting The Xcelerated Compute Show globally not only enables us to do that, but also gives our attendees multiple opportunities throughout the year to connect and collaborate in an industry that’s evolving at breakneck speed.”

First stop, New York

The Xcelerated Compute Show makes its first stop in New York on March 23-24, 2026. 

Taking place at the Marriott Marquis, Times Square, we’ll bring together 550+ leaders from across hyperscale, neocloud, enterprise and the wider ecosystem, uniting West Coast innovation with East Coast enterprise demand. This convergence provides a unique opportunity to explore the next frontier - where hardware and software collide to power  the next decade of digital infrastructure. 

You can expect unrivalled insights spanning every aspect of hardware and software for AI, HPC, and Quantum computing, from the rise of AI factories and GPU-clouds to the very latest advancements in compute, storage and networking hardware.You’ll hear from over 100 of the minds behind the headlines, with speakers including: 

  • Keith Heyde, Director,  Infrastructure Strategy & Development, OpenAI
  • Davis Wu, Compute Strategy & Finance, OpenAI 
  • Scott Charter, Director, AI & Cloud Strategy, Oracle
