The Advancing Data Center Construction series will be coming to Chicago for the first time this October to connect an intimate group of market-leading Hyperscalers, Co-Locators, Developers, Designers, Contractors and Trades from the Dakotas through Ohio, down to Missouri, giving you the opportunity to forge new partnerships and make meaningful connections with the most active players close to home.
This is an invaluable opportunity to not only stay ahead of the emerging project pipeline and available partners, but also tackle head on the primary challenges dominating projects in the region – from labor shortages to power alternatives and much more.
