Capacity Europe 2027 is the annual European conference for wholesale telecoms, fibre networks, subsea connectivity, data centres, and digital infrastructure finance. Organized by Capacity Media (part of techoraco), the event returns to the InterContinental London – The O2 on the Greenwich Peninsula. Pre-event activities take place on October 18, 2027, followed by the three-day main conference and exhibition from October 19 to 21, 2027.
The organizer expects more than 4,000 decision-makers across connectivity, cloud, data centres, and AI infrastructure. The 2026 edition drew attendees from more than 2,500 companies across 90+ countries, with 60 percent at C-level or director level.
Programming Focus
The 2027 program covers connectivity, cloud and AI, data centres, and digital infrastructure investment. The 2026 edition focused on four themes:
- AI-ready networks and new revenue: how operators, cloud platforms, and infrastructure providers can turn AI demand into commercial growth
- Fibre, subsea, and network infrastructure: where capacity is needed, how it can be financed, and which partnerships will drive development
- Data centres, cloud, and power: how connectivity, computing, and energy constraints are reshaping infrastructure development
- Investment and market consolidation: where capital is moving, and the opportunities shaping the next wave of infrastructure investment and M&A
