Data Center World recognizes the challenges of running a data center efficiently and effectively. This bi-annual event was launched in 1981 with the goal of providing a hands-on, educational program to enable data center professionals to better balance the key components of running a data center: management, business and technology. Conference sessions cover a mix of these three critical issues, with particular emphasis on management and technology topics.

Each year, Data Center World recruits more than 45 speakers to address the range of concerns data center professionals face. Year after year, attendees remark about how approachable the Data Center World speakers are, and how inspiring—and assuring—it is to know even top data center experts have some of the same concerns and struggles.
