Metro Connect USA 2027

Metro Connect USA is the Capacity Global portfolio's flagship US digital infrastructure dealmaking event. The 2027 edition runs 8–10 February 2027 at the Signia by Hilton Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida — a venue change from the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort used in 2026. Organisers project 5,000+ digital infrastructure leaders, 75% at director level or above, including 2,000+ operator attendees across fibre and data centers, supported by 600+ meeting spaces.

The event is structured around private meetings rather than broad conference content: the draw is the concentration of fibre operators, data center developers, investors, and lenders in one location at the start of the deal year.
