DCN Warsaw 2026
About the Event
DCN Warsaw 2026 is a one-day data center summit organized by Data Center Nation, taking place on October 7, 2026 at Expo XXI in Warsaw, Poland. The event draws more than 950 technology executives and decision-makers focused on digital infrastructure investment and operations across Central and Eastern Europe. The 2026 edition runs from 8:00am to 5:30pm and includes a conference program alongside an expo floor where infrastructure vendors offer hands-on equipment demonstrations.
The Polish data center market is on a growth path toward USD 3.78 billion by 2030, driven by hyperscale investment, AI-related demand, and Warsaw's position as the dominant hub in Central and Eastern Europe. The summit addresses both the opportunities and the operational pressures that come with that growth.
