Cooling AI-Ready Data Centers with Scalable, Efficient & Resilient Systems to Meet Higher Rack Densities, Reduce Water & Energy Use, & Drive Down Total Cost of Ownership
Recent leaps in AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing have redefined what data centers must deliver, pushing rack densities past 100 kW and sending cooling demand soaring to nearly half of total facility energy use. With the industry shifting rapidly from air to liquid cooling, and environmental regulations tightening on water and heat rejection, engineers now face the most critical transformation in data center design in decades, with leaders racing to develop scalable, sustainable, and resilient cooling systems that can keep pace with innovation.
Debuting in 2026, Advancing Data Center Cooling Innovation is the first and only forum dedicated exclusively to the evolving role of mechanical engineering in next-generation data centers.
Made by and for pioneering engineers and technical leaders from hyperscalers, colocators, and specialist design firms, hear the industry’s biggest names, including Microsoft, AWS, Equinix, and more, share actionable insights, lessons learned, and tested solutions to redefine the future of mechanical and cooling infrastructure.
So what can you look forward to?
- Be first to master AI-driven cooling strategies before they become industry standard, ensuring your facilities can handle soaring rack densities and performance demands.
- Gain real-world, implementation-based insights through detailed case studies on liquid cooling, hybrid systems, retrofits, modularization, and operational framework
- Learn how to deploy and integrate liquid cooling, avoid vendor lock-in, manage costs, and scale this novel technology across multiple sites with confidence.
- Future-proof your facilities by aligning performance, sustainability targets (WUE/PUE), regulatory requirements, and reliability without sacrificing uptime or profitability.
- Build powerful relationships with mechanical and building performance leaders from hyperscalers, colocation providers, engineering firms, and contractors who are actively shaping the next generation of AI-ready data center infrastructure.
The expertise and vast knowledge in the room was very informative. The open-room discussions were also refreshing.
