Beyond the Blueprint: The New Realities of Data Center Investment and Site Selection
Description

Join us for this forward-looking discussion on the new realities of data center site selection and investment in an era of rapid digital expansion. The data center landscape is in the midst of a transformation. Power constraints, land scarcity, and increasing community scrutiny are redefining where and how digital infrastructure is developed. The traditional site selection playbook is evolving as developers, investors, and policymakers navigate new challenges and opportunities. This panel brings together top industry leaders to discuss the key factors influencing data center growth, from financing strategies and power procurement to regulatory roadblocks and emerging market opportunities. Learn how developers are balancing infrastructure demands with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations, and gain insights into the evolving dynamics of local and national policy.
