What's New at Datacloud USA 2026?

Digital infrastructure is built around the people operating the facilities - and this year we have:

- More data center operators to talk capacity and strategy

- More fiber network operators to talk interconnection

- More grid operators to talk power

- More neoclouds to talk new demand waves

 

Datacloud USA is all about building cross-ecosystem connections - but some topics need a focused drilldown with the exact right audience in the room.

That's why the 2026 agenda includes even more focused Summits, Forums and Meetups than every before - new for this year are the Neocloud Leaders Forum, the Neocloud Summit, the Investment and Finance Summit, and the Nuclear for AI Forum. 

This is in addition to the invite-only Digital Infrastructure Leaders Summit and the Community Meetups, both returning for 2026 after successful launches last year.

We have completely revamped the floorplan for Datacloud USA 2026 (check it out here), adding an entire new hall to accommodate the huge growth of companies joining us this year.

There are also new lounges, new refreshment stations - in short, an entirely new look and feel for Datacloud this year.

Datacloud USA 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest ever edition of the event yet - with 3,000 people expected from all across the data center and digital infrastructure community.

At the same time, we are careful to maintain the senior-level mix - which is what makes Datacloud USA the only place in the United States to talk strategy, future planning and cross-ecosystem collaboration with every sector involved in digital infrastructure delivery.

Datacloud USA is in Texas because this is where the AI and data center buildout is at its buzziest - and we're in Austin because it's a great place to spend three days.

The Datacloud USA social program includes all the old favourites from last year - the Golf Day, drinks receptions every day, and various networking breakfasts and breakout sessions. 

And there's more for 2026 - an extravagant, you-don't-want-to-miss-it opening party the night before we open. This is the one you want to be at.

There are plenty of events that try to combine data centers and power, finance with AI, or various other combinations.

But nobody does it across the ecosystem like Datacloud does - and the co-location with Metro Connect Fall means this is the only place to have those vital cross-silo conversations.

This year, that's even more the case - as well as the core of operator, hyperscale, power, fiber and finance, we are seeing massive interest in the event from across more areas of the ecosystem than ever before, including local authority, neocloud, advisory, nuclear power, and all the other sectors involed in bringing data centers to life.

Neoclouds are driving so much of the conversation in digital infrastructure right now - and Datacloud USA has a record-breaking number already confirmed to attend.

As well as meeting neoclouds, you can also learn more about the role they play in the market through the Neocloud - and the invite-only Neocloud Leaders Forum makes sure Datacloud USA is the only fall event to be at if you're either in the sector or want to meet them.
