Data Center Americas 2027

Data Center Americas 2027 is the inaugural US edition of CloserStill Media's Data Centre World series, which already runs in London, Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid, and Singapore. The two-day conference and expo runs March 31 to April 1, 2027 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. The organizer projects 3,000+ attendees and 150 exhibiting solution providers, and is positioning the show around the Washington market's concentration of federal, hyperscale, and Northern Virginia data center decision-makers.
