The Atlanta Data Center Boom: Navigating Growth in the Southeast
The Atlanta data center market continues to see significant absorption of data center capacity, reaching another record high in 2024. There is now more space under construction than online. Developers continue to expand their footprint in the region due to competitive power costs, available land and fiber connectivity. What are the challenges associated with this rapid growth and how are operators navigating them? What is the long term outlook considering the evolving regulatory landscape?

Building for the AI Revolution: Adapting Data Center Design and Delivery for Mega Campuses
With developers trying to keep up with demand, while also trying to circumnavigate land constraints, supply chain delays and sustainability practices, the build phase is looking different than it used to pre-pandemic. How are aspects of design, engineering and construction changing given the demand and size we are seeing today? How are developers adapting to the changing landscape and the speed to which data center capacity is needed?
11:45 AM
12:25 PM
Data Center Financing And Capital Markets: How Cost Of Capital And Industry Demand Is Changing The Game
As the industry continues to experience record demand and the declining cost of capital, 2024 will look different than the past years. What can we expect to see on the financing, investment and deal-making side in the short-term future? How are investors looking to assess the industry compared to other asset classes?

Lunch N' Learn Roundtable Discussion: From Blueprint to Build
Designing Cost-Effective, Sustainable Data Center Security When it comes to bringing data centers online and keeping them secure, physical security is a big component. If proper security practices are not in place, a project could be put behind millions of dollars and have significant time delays. These are risks that can't be taken. Hear from security experts on best practices and what teams should be doing to ensure vulnerabilities are reduced on the development site and after asset delivery.

AI In The Data Center: Impacts on Cooling and Power Design
With AI driving increased rack densities in the data center, how will designers address thermal runaway in the data center?

- Is air cooling still viable?

- Will we see a continued emergence of liquid cooling?

- How will operators protect these critical mechanical systems?

- How will designers provide power to the new massive gigawatt level requirements of the AI data center?

- Are traditional power protection technologies viable for the new electrical load profile of GPU chips?

More Compute With Greater Efficiency: How to Maintain Cooling Requirements as Density Increases?
Given the adoption of advanced AI apps and its supporting IT infrastructure, increasing rack density and the requirements to cool it are becoming increasingly complex. How is power and cooling technologies changing within the data center? How are operators optimizing their current infrastructure and designs to further enhance cooling, energy usage and power densities? What is working and what is not?
2:50 PM
3:30 PM
The Data Center Location Equation: Power, Connectivity and Site Selection
Power, connectivity and community are some of the key factors that determine the location of data centers. As access to power becomes more challenging and community pushback heightens, how are developers assessing where to build next? How is the site selection process changing and what are solutions to limited power availability?
