Data Center World

Data Center World is the premier educational resource for data center professionals, presented by AFCOM, the largest association for data center management in the world. Recognizing the challenges of running a data center efficiently and effectively, Data Center World events were launched in 1981 with the goal of providing a hands-on, educational program to enable data center professionals to better balance the three key components of running a data center: management, business and technology. Conference sessions cover a mix of these three critical issues, with particular emphasis on management and technology topics. Each year, Data Center World recruits more than 100 speakers to address the range of concerns data center professionals face. Year after year, attendees comment on how approachable the Data Center World speakers are, and how knowledgeable and inspiring they are as individuals. Conference attendees have numerous opportunities to meet and have one-on-one discussions with these speakers during networking events. The Data Center World Conferences have welcomed professionals from thousands of data centers, from many of the largest corporations, government organizations, and academic institutions in the world. Attendees overwhelmingly agree that no other forum allows them to interact with over 1,000 other data center professionals, sharing their successes and frustrations, making great contacts and bringing back so much useful information to help manage their data centers.
