Nomads at the Summit: Data Center Frontier and Nomad Futurist Launch New Podcast Program at DCF Trends Summit

RESTON, VA.— July 23, 2025 —  

Data Center Frontier is proud to announce a dynamic new addition to this year’s Data Center Frontier Trends Summit, taking place August 26–28 at the Hyatt Regency Reston. In partnership with the acclaimed Nomad Futurist Foundation podcast, DCF will debut “Nomads at the Summit” — a new onsite podcast series hosted by Nomad Futurist Co-Founders Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence, in collaboration with DCF editorial leadership.

Building on the successful collaboration behind the ongoing Nomads at the Frontier podcast series, Nomads at the Summit will feature a series of exclusive, sit-down interviews recorded live on location with industry leaders, innovators, and change agents shaping the digital infrastructure landscape.

These special podcast sessions will highlight speakers and proposals from the Trends Summit that exemplify the spirit of innovation, partnership, and forward-thinking that defines both DCF and Nomad Futurist. Interview guests will be drawn from among those whose accepted Summit proposals stood out for aligning with our shared values, especially around issues of technology enablement, talent development, and workforce transformation at the edge of our industry’s growth.

"We’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Nomad Futurist and create a platform that captures the voices driving meaningful change in our industry," said Matt Vincent, Editor-in-Chief of Data Center Frontier. "These conversations will be essential listening for anyone invested in where our sector is heading next, and who’s helping to lead the way."

Post-event, the Nomads at the Summit episodes will be distributed via both Nomad Futurist’s podcast network and the Data Center Frontier Show channels, reaching a global audience of data center professionals, technology leaders, and infrastructure visionaries.

Nomad Futurist Co-Founder Nabeel Mahmood adds, "The Trends Summit is about what's next — and our mission is to spotlight the people who are creating that future. These conversations will be raw, insightful, and empowering. We can’t wait to sit down with some of the brightest minds in the business."

Whether you’re attending the Summit in person or tuning in after the fact, Nomads at the Summit promises an authentic, behind-the-scenes window into the ideas and individuals setting the tone for the next chapter of the data center industry.
