DCN Warsaw 2027 is an annual data center summit organized by Data Center Nation, scheduled for October 6, 2027, at Expo XXI in Warsaw, Poland. The full-day gathering convenes data center operators, hyperscalers, cloud providers, engineering consultants, utilities, and infrastructure equipment manufacturers across Central and Eastern Europe. The summit anticipates more than 950 decision-makers, 90 speakers, and over 20 thought leadership sessions.
The Polish data center market is on track to reach $3.78 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate above 15.7%. Growth is driven by hyperscale cloud investments, high-performance computing, sovereign AI deployments, and Warsaw's position as the primary digital gateway for Central and Eastern Europe.
