Full Event Guide 2026

Build AI-Ready, High-Performing Data Centers in Record Time by Connecting With Future Project Partners & Discovering What’s Next Across US Western States

As unprecedented AI adoption fuels the most intense period of data center development in U.S. history, the Western region is facing immense pressure. This surge, driven by hyperscale expansion, campus builds, and the first wave of purpose-built AI data centers coming online in 2025, is reshaping how projects are designed, delivered, and operated. With crucial real-world data now emerging from these cutting-edge builds, there is an urgent need for localized collaboration, subregional insights, and new delivery strategies to navigate supply constraints, workforce challenges, and escalating power demands.

That’s why Advancing Data Center Construction West returned in 2026 as the definitive forum uniting 900+ pioneering decision-makers - from Hyperscalers, Colocators, Designers, Contractors, Policy-Makers and Utility firms across Washington through California to Phoenix - to forge strategic partnerships and gain the actionable insight needed to deliver faster, smarter and at scale in the West’s most competitive markets.
