10th Data Center Design, Engineering & Construction Summit
Two days with the most senior professionals shaping North America's next generation of digital infrastructure — set against the world's densest data centre market.
A practitioner-led agenda that cuts through vendor noise.
The Data Centres Design, Engineering & Construction Summit Washington DC 2027 is a two-day, invitation-style gathering of the most senior professionals shaping North America's next generation of digital infrastructure. Set against the backdrop of the world's densest data centre market — Northern Virginia and the broader DC metro corridor — the summit delivers a focused agenda that addresses the real-world engineering, design, and construction challenges that define today's hyperscale era.
With AI-driven workloads pushing rack densities past 100kW, power procurement backlogs stretching into years, and construction timelines under unprecedented pressure, this is where decision-makers come to share lessons learned, benchmark against peers, and build the relationships that move projects forward.
Expect candid conversations, hands-on case studies, and a curated attendee community of engineers, architects, hyperscaler leads, and investors.
