Data Centre Congress Global 2026: Powering Innovation in Digital Infrastructure

Data Centre Expo Global is set to return to Olympia, London on 4-5 February 2026, bringing together global leaders and innovators from across the digital infrastructure ecosystem to explore the future of green data, intelligent investment, and resilient physical infrastructure.

Driving Sustainable Growth Through Innovation & Investment

Under this year’s themes of green investment, digital innovation, and physical infrastructure, the programme will spotlight how operators are redefining the foundations of data centres. Expect deep explorations of decarbonisation strategies, circular and modular design, grid integration, advanced cooling, power systems innovation, and sustainable site planning.

Sessions will also examine how digital innovation is reshaping infrastructure, from AI-driven operations, automation and control systems to next-generation materials, software-defined infrastructure, and data centre architectures that flex with demand and resilience requirements.

Hyperscale, Edge, and Ensuring Infrastructure Resilience

On the day two track, speakers will explore how hyperscale and edge infrastructures must evolve to serve a distributed, latency-sensitive, resilient future. Topics include data sovereignty, resilient connectivity, distributed compute, AI orchestration, fault tolerance, and hybrid edge-cloud architectures. The focus will remain squarely on designing systems that sustain performance under evolving stressors and threats.
