2024 AGENDA
PRESENTED BY
Anti-conference with a #Pro-Connect agenda
Welcome to DCAC 2024, where we’ll not only provide transformative networking opportunities, but take an exciting journey through the data center lifecycle. We’ll explore the five phases—DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, COMMISSIONING, AND OPERATIONS—from the perspectives of End Users and Data Center Operators.
Beyond the surface, we’ll dig deep into the ‘WHY’ behind their decisions, not just the ‘WHAT,’ to gain new insights and strengthen the industry for the future. We’ll also discuss important topics like SUSTAINABILITY in Data Center construction and Operations, finding ways to balance modernity with environmental responsibility. Intriguingly, we’ll dive into the world of data center FINANCE, understanding how investments shape our technological future.
Join us at DCAC 2024 for a conference that fosters intellectual growth and visionary thinking. Together, let’s embrace sophistication and innovation to make a brighter tomorrow. Get ready to be inspired!
