Conference Programme 2026

Driving the Future of Digital Infrastructure Together

This year, the critical themes to be explored include AI scalability, next-generation infrastructure, and energy resilience – especially important developments given that data centre electricity consumption in APAC is projected to grow from under 200 TWh in 2025 to over 1,000 TWh by the mid-2030s.

With 95% of global investors planning to increase data centre investments and capital allocations rising significantly, the sector continues to attract strong institutional backing while facing constraints around power, land, and sustainability. This year features five specially curated theatres, each addressing the industry's most pressing priorities.
