Data Centre World Asia
About the Event
Data Centre World Asia is a two-day conference and exhibition organised by CloserStill Media, held on 29–30 September 2026 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore. Now in its 12th edition, the event drew 17,271 data centre professionals and 29,241 total attendees across all co-located shows in 2025, with 346 exhibiting companies and 215 speakers. It runs as part of Tech Week Singapore alongside Cloud & AI Infrastructure, DevOps Live, Cyber Security World Asia, and Big Data & AI World Asia — a single registration covers all five events.
The APAC region now holds over 14 GW of operational data centre capacity with more than 19 GW in the development pipeline. Data centre electricity consumption across APAC is projected to grow from under 200 TWh in 2025 to over 1,000 TWh by the mid-2030s, making power strategy and AI-ready infrastructure the defining issues for the region's operators.
