5th U.S.

Data Center Sustainability & Energy Efficiency Summit

Two days in Dallas where operators, energy strategists and sustainability leads work through what actually moves PUE, WUE and carbon on live sites — cooling, on-site generation, water recovery and the grid.

About the summit

Efficiency,
under load

Dallas, Texas
2–3 February 2027

The U.S. Data Center Sustainability & Energy Efficiency Summit brings together the people who sign off on power contracts, cooling retrofits and ESG disclosures — not the people who write about them.

As AI, cloud and hyperscale capacity accelerate, the pressure to cut environmental impact without giving up performance has never been higher. Over two days we work through next-generation energy solutions, water strategy, ESG reporting and the cooling technologies now being deployed at scale.

Sustainability experts, energy strategists and infrastructure leads take on the industry's hardest constraint: delivering high-performance, scalable data centers that still line up with net-zero and carbon reduction commitments.

Data centers are projected to double their global electricity consumption by 2030.

Program topics — 5th U.S. Data Center Sustainability & Energy Efficiency Summit

Program highlights

Twelve threads,
two days

Every session is built around a decision an operator has to make this year — not a technology roadmap for 2035.

01

Smart energy optimization with AI and digital twins

Modelling load before you commit capital, and keeping the model honest once the site is live.

02

Sustainable ICT use in data centers

Procurement, hardware lifecycle and the embodied carbon that never shows up in PUE.

03

Renewables in mission-critical infrastructure

What integrates cleanly with uptime commitments, and what quietly adds risk.

04

Next-generation cooling

Liquid and direct-to-chip in GPU-dense halls, plus precision control on air-cooled estates.

05

Policy and regulatory trends

Where green data center growth is being enabled — and where it is being slowed down.

06

Energy efficiency best practice

Measured results from live estates, including the retrofits that did not pay back.

07

On-site generation and microgrids

Behind-the-meter power, firm gas storage and the economics of not waiting for the grid.

08

Heat re-use and energy circularity

Turning a parasitic load into an output someone else is willing to pay for.

09

Water conservation and wastewater

Blowdown recovery, zero liquid discharge and the route to water-positive operation.

10

ESG-focused strategy

GHG accounting that survives audit, and disclosures that survive scrutiny.

11

Cost efficiency in design and construction

Low-carbon materials, stick-built versus modular, and where the money actually goes.

12

Efficiency through data-driven insight

Metrics beyond PUE, including power compute effectiveness for AI workloads.

Networking — 5th U.S. Data Center Sustainability & Energy Efficiency Summit

Networking

Six hours
off the stage

The agenda includes pre-arranged 1-to-1 meetings during the coffee and ice-breaking sessions, so you arrive with a schedule rather than a hope.

01 Mobile app for delegate connections Browse the attendee list and request meetings before you land in Dallas.
02 Up to six hours of networking breaks Coffee, lunch and afternoon breaks built into both days — not squeezed around them.
03 Drinks receptions The evening before day one, and again at the close of day one.
04 Facilitated peer-to-peer meetings Introductions made for you, matched on what you came to solve.
05 Post-event communication Contact details and follow-ups after the room clears, so the connections hold.
