Powering the Next Generation of Digital Infrastructure and Energy Transition
Data Centres & Energy APAC 2027 (#DCEAPAC2027) is APAC's leading event for next-gen digital infrastructure and the energy transition. Taking place on 13–14 July 2027 in Sydney, Australia, the event will bring together 600+ senior leaders from across the data centre and energy ecosystem — including data centre developers and operators, hyperscalers, utilities and grid operators, power and renewable energy providers, technology, power and cooling solution providers, construction and engineering firms, water specialists, investors and consulting firms.
As Australia positions itself as a critical hub for APAC's digital economy, #DCEAPAC2027 serves as the defining platform for the cross-sector collaboration needed to turn ambition into execution — accelerating the infrastructure planning, energy and sustainability decisions that will determine how quickly the APAC region can build and power the next generation of AI infrastructure.
