Canada's Data Center Power Summit
Solving the grid. Scaling the future. The national gathering for decision-makers building, powering, funding, and regulating the digital infrastructure that will define Canada's economic competitiveness for the next decade.
About The Event
Canada's Data Center Power Summit is the national gathering for the decision-makers building, powering, funding, and regulating the digital infrastructure that will define Canada's economic competitiveness for the next decade. As the AI revolution drives unprecedented demand for compute capacity, Canada faces its defining challenge: connecting data centers to power at the speed the market demands. Held in Toronto — the heart of Canada's largest data center corridor — this summit unites utility operators, hyperscalers, developers, investors, policymakers, and technology providers to confront the grid crisis head-on and accelerate the path to scalable, sustainable digital infrastructure across Canada.

- Indigenous duty to consult, revenue sharing and co-development models
- The $100 Billion Alberta opportunity — hype or executable reality?
- Hyperscale vs. colocation vs. build-to-suit — which model wins in Canada
- Emerging market plays: Calgary, Quebec City and Edmonton as next-tier targets
- Project finance, debt sizing and equity in a high-rate environment
