Workshop A

10:00 am Driving Collaboration Across the Value Chain to Deliver a Large Data Center Campus on Time & on Budget

AVP, Campus Infrastructure Integration Lead, Black & Veatch
Vice President - Mission Critical, JE Dunn Construction
Architect, Gensler

Delivering a hyperscale data center on time and within budget demands seamless collaboration across owners, contractors, designers, and suppliers – yet alignment remains one of the industry’s biggest challenges. This workshop will unpack the proven frameworks and behaviors that transform fragmented delivery into integrated, outcome-driven performance to optimize project execution on your next megacampus.

  • Building the foundations for strong partnerships across owners, contractors, designers, and suppliers from design to align goals, share risk, and streamline decision-making
  • Evaluating the momentum of alternative project delivery methods: what are the best options for my next project to mitigate risk, increase quality and drive sustainable profitability
  • Establishing clear roles and collaborative workflows that integrate the full project team from project start to finish
  • Capturing and applying insights from each phase to refine delivery standards, prevent recurring issues, and shorten deliver timelines on our next megaproject

12:00 pm Lunch Break & Networking

Workshop B

1:00 pm Maximizing Prefabrication & Modularization to Expedite Project Delivery

Sr VP of Engineering, Echelon Data Centres

Speed to market has never been more critical, and prefabrication offers one of the strongest levers for driving productivity and reducing schedules. This session goes beyond theory to give you a step-by-step understanding of how to identify modular opportunities, optimize your preconstruction planning, and mitigate logistical risks to maximize the ROI.

  • Planning prefab by system type to clearly define what can be prebuilt, what requires onsite customization, and how to maximize multi-trade prefab and modular
  • Evaluating the essential prefabrication decisions during design to influence procurement and cost control
  • Developing strategies to avoid oversaturating the prefabricator supply chain through the evaluation on the extent of modularization to available skilled labor, logistics capabilities, and regional factors
  • Leveraging lessons learned from early modularization pilots to identify the key success factors, pitfalls, and best practices for scaling prefab modular data center construction

3:00 pm Afternoon Refreshments & Networking
