DCAC Europe 2026
About the Event
DCAC Europe 2026 is the European edition of the Data Center Anti-Conference, held June 23 to 24 at the Roundhouse in London. DCAC was founded by Kirk Offel in Austin in 2015 and is led by President David Isaac; the series expanded to Europe in 2024. The global DCAC footprint draws 3,000+ attendees across 1,000+ companies, with 200+ industry partners.
The 2026 theme is "Operation Full Throttle: Forging the 5th Utility," positioning data infrastructure alongside water, electricity, gas, and telecom as essential infrastructure. DCAC deliberately breaks from traditional conference format, emphasizing networking, interactive content, concerts, and celebrity appearances over panel-heavy programming.
