Advancing Edge Data Centers

Memo

A new layer of digital infrastructure is being built. As AI inference moves compute closer to end users, demand is growing for distributed infrastructure that can be deployed faster, operate closer to demand and overcome the power and land constraints facing traditional hyperscale development.With the global edge infrastructure market projected to reach $317 billion in 2026, organizations have a unique opportunity to influence how this market develops, identify where the strongest opportunities are emerging and position themselves at the forefront of the next wave of AI-driven growth. That's why Advancing Edge Data Centers is arriving as the only forum bringing together the edge and colocator developers, big tech firms, telecom and enterprise end-users and their delivery partners shaping the future of edge infrastructure. Through strategic workshops, real-world case studies and interactive group discussions, join us to benchmark deployment strategies, explore emerging business models and examine the technical and commercial decisions driving successful edge expansion. Join industry leaders to:- Identify where edge demand is emerging and what's driving adoption- Evaluate deployment models, ownership structures and partnership strategies- Assess power, fiber, latency and site selection requirements- Explore modular, prefabricated and standardized deployment approaches- Understand how AI inference is reshaping infrastructure requirements- Connect with the pioneers building the future of edge As edge infrastructure moves from industry discussion to large-scale deployment, you'll leave with the insights, connections and practical strategies needed to capitalize on the next phase of AI-driven infrastructure growth.
