Designing the Cutting-Edge, Higher Spec Data Centers of the Future

Accelerate Speed to Market Amid Power Constraints & Urban Pressures

With surging AI workloads, mounting grid constraints and pressure to deliver sustainable, high-density facilities at speed, design and engineering teams across eastern states - from Georgia through the Virginias and Carolinas and up to Pennsylvania and New York - face unprecedented complexity. From navigating power bottlenecks and cooling evolution, to accelerating delivery through prefabrication and simulation, the stakes have never been higher.

That’s why Advancing Data Center Design & Engineering East 2025 stood out as the must-attend technical conference for those shaping the future of data center design across the Eastern seaboard and emerging Southeastern hubs. Uniting 60+ of the industry’s leading Design, Engineering, and Standards professionals from hyperscale, colocation, development, architecture, and engineering firms from across America’s Eastern Region to evaluate alternative power solutions, explore next-gen cooling technologies, streamline design collaboration, and more - this event delivered the insights and connections you need to stay ahead and expedite your data center deployment.

Attendees joined Microsoft, Oracle, QTS Data Centers, AECOM, Compass Datacenters, Gensler and more to connect and drive innovation across North America’s most competitive markets, learning how to confidently make their next data center break-through in designing for greater scale, speed, and sustainability in an AI-powered world.
