Why Should Data Centers Attend?

Data center operators come to ITW to meet leaders from carriers, cloud providers and hyperscalers - a platform for vital discussions around interconnectivity and fiber provision.

Data center operators face surging AI and cloud demand, but power, land, permitting and rising build costs are major constraints. To stay competitive, operators must scale fast, secure power, expand into new markets and strengthen interconnection - and ITW attracts the C-suites of the companies that can help achieve this.
