Upcoming Events & Conferences

Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2025 will take place August 26-28, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency Reston in Reston, Virginia. Now in its second year, the Summit is designed to provide data center leaders and stakeholders with up-to-date insights and actionable intelligence on the most critical trends shaping the digital infrastructure industry.

The event stands out for its curated, interactive format—eschewing overcrowded, over-scheduled agendas in favor of focused sessions, peer-to-peer roundtables, robust Q&A opportunities, and exclusive data center tours. Attendees will engage directly with industry influencers, decision-makers, and an expanded Editorial Advisory Board representing hyperscale and colocation operators, power and cooling innovators, IT providers, and construction specialists.

Highlights for 2025 include:

• Keynote presentations from industry luminaries, exploring the future of digital infrastructure.
• The return of the popular "Moonshot" innovation panel, where visionary leaders pitch bold, game-changing ideas for the sector, with live audience voting and expert feedback3.
• Exclusive data center tours and networking opportunities designed to foster meaningful connections and real-world learning.

The Summit addresses urgent topics such as AI-driven automation, energy and sustainability challenges, and the next wave of operational efficiency. It aims to serve as a think-tank environment for shaping the future of the data center industry in an era marked by rapid technological change and rising power demands.

As the global data center market accelerates—driven by the explosive growth of cloud computing, AI, 5G, remote work, e-commerce, and data-intensive applications—power resourcing has emerged as one of the industry's most urgent challenges. Demand for data center capacity may be limitless, but the availability of power is not.

Data Center World POWER brings together the full spectrum of decision-makers and innovators shaping the future of power in the data center landscape. From energy providers and infrastructure leaders to sustainability experts and policy influencers, the Conference explores the strategies and solutions needed to align massive digital growth with resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy infrastructure.

Join us to explore today’s most pressing data center topics, including:

• Power sourcing and capacity planning
• Energy efficiency and sustainable operations
• Grid constraints and infrastructure investment
• Supply chain resilience
• Technological innovation in power systems

Featuring insightful keynotes, solution-driven panels, and elite networking opportunities, Data Center World POWER is designed to spark collaboration and action across the entire data center power value chain.

Brought to you by the team behind the industry's largest and most respected data center event, this is the only forum dedicated solely to the intersection of data centers and power—delivered in a dynamic and highly focused format.

infra/STRUCTURE Week also welcomes partners: Oracle CloudWorld 2025 and Cloudflare Connect 2025.

Whether you're driving innovation in data centres, scaling GPU-powered cloud platforms, investing in AI infrastructure, or enabling ESG-focused energy solutions, this is the must-attend summit that delivers:

Structure Research built infra/STRUCTURE to replace legacy events and be the marquee annual setting where Internet infrastructure executives can network, learn and get business done – all against the backdrop of third party data centre research and data, along with perspectives from leading industry minds.

infra/STRUCTURE 2025 THEME: CONCURRENCE
Concurrence: the fact of two or more events or circumstances happening or existing at the same time. The Internet infrastructure sector has always been characterized by steady and incremental growth, with disruptive events (the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 global pandemic) setting off counter-cyclical tendencies. But beneath the surface there have always been various moving parts shaping the consistent trajectory of the data centre sector. And this sometimes overlooked activity is more pronounced then ever before. 

The rise of hyperscale cloud was the first true game-changer for the sector. We are now at the doorstep of a second inflection point, with AI set to kick off another wave of aggressive growth. But the path from point A to point B is far from a straight line. There are various shifts happening simultaneously, with resource constraints, supply chain challenges, growing capital requirements, new technologies, persistent legacy portfolios, geopolitics, forthcoming regulatory issues and infrastructure redesigns all being undertaken, reconsidered (2024 theme) and recalibrated (2023 theme) for the next-generation that is coming. And it is all happening at an accelerated pace (2022 theme).

It definitely feels like there is something very different this time around. We invite you to join us in exploring and 2025 in Las Vegas.
