We are excited to team up once again with long-standing media partners Data Centre Review magazine for this new networking event for data centre professionals.

DCR Live 2026 aims to bring the best of the industry to the Cavendish Centre in central London for a day packed with insight, debate, networking and celebration.

The theme for this inaugural event is ‘the next generation of data centres’ with discussions on key topics such as AI, increasing rack densities, sustainability and community engagement.

Guest speakers already confirmed to appear include:

• Microsoft’s Datacentre Community Affairs Director Nienke Ris
• Emma Fryer of CyrusOne
• James Tyler from Equinix
• Venessa Moffat of the Data Centre Alliance.

As well as a packed schedule of speakers and panel sessions, there will be ample networking opportunities for end-users and data centre operators.

While the day will conclude with the prizegiving ceremony for the Data Centre Review Excellence Awards 2026, where honours are up for grabs in dozens of categories spanning the year’s best products, projects, and people.

DCR Live and the Excellence Awards 2026 is free to attend (register here) but admission is reserved for data centre professionals such as end-users, owners, operators, consultants, and engineers only.

Any registrations from industry vendors, suppliers, or service partners will not be approved unless they are participating as event sponsors.
