About DTECH® Data Centers and AI
AI is driving explosive demand for data centers, which consume 10–50x more electricity per square foot than typical buildings. This surge is putting unprecedented pressure on power grids and forcing utilities to rethink infrastructure, policies, and demand response strategies.
At DTECH® Data Centers & AI, top executives, policymakers, and innovators will explore how utilities and data centers can collaborate to ensure reliable, sustainable growth—and how AI itself can help manage its own energy impact. For journalists, it’s a front-row seat to one of the biggest energy and technology stories of our time.
