Advancing Data Center Cooling Innovation is a three-day technical conference (February 18–20, 2026, Dallas, TX) dedicated to the next generation of mechanical, thermal, and cooling systems for AI-ready data centers. It brings together 80+ mechanical, thermal, cooling, and building performance leaders from hyperscalers, colocation providers, and specialist design firms to tackle soaring rack densities, liquid cooling adoption, and tightening sustainability and regulatory demands. Attendees can expect in-depth case studies on liquid and hybrid cooling, retrofits, modularization, and system integration, plus interactive panels and over 10 hours of networking focused on reducing energy and water use while improving resiliency and total cost of ownership. Expert speakers from organizations such as Microsoft, AWS, Equinix, and Arcadis will share practical strategies to align performance, WUE/PUE targets, and reliability for the future of high-performance data center infrastructure.
