Data Center World Europe
13-14 October 2026
VIECON – Vienna Congress & Convention CenterVienna, Austria

Why Attend

The demand for data centers is exploding -- Europe's market is set to double by 2030, with capacity tripling in just 5-7 years. Yet power shortages, grid bottlenecks stretching interconnection times to 7-10 years, and mounting sustainability pressures threaten to stifle this growth.

The question isn't whether Europe needs more data centers. It's whether Europe can deliver them.

Powered by the unmatched legacy and authority of Data Center World, the global leader in data centre conferences, Data Center World Europe brings together the complete ecosystem to solve this challenge head-on. This groundbreaking new conference takes a laser focus on energy access, generation, and distribution -- the critical issues that will define the next decade of European data center growth.
