Description
American Data Centers Forum (From Building to Powering Them)
As artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital transformation drive explosive demand for data capacity, the question is no longer how fast we can build but how we can power.
American Data Centers Forum: From Building to Powering Them is a national forum dedicated to the energy, infrastructure, and innovation behind America’s next generation of data centers. Taking place in Houston, Texas, in April 23-24, 2026, the event will bring together developers, utilities, energy providers, policymakers, and technology leaders to address the critical challenge of scaling digital infrastructure sustainably and securely.
From hydrogen and small modular reactors (SMRs) to microgrids, renewables, and carbon capture (CCUS), the discussions will explore real pathways to decarbonizing and strengthening the nation’s digital backbone. Expert-led sessions and panels will dive into:
- Designing energy-resilient data centers across U.S. power markets
- Integrating hydrogen, nuclear, and other clean energy solutions at scale
- Balancing on-site generation with grid reliability and interconnection
- Deploying CCUS and other technologies to achieve net-zero operations
- Financing and policy frameworks driving energy innovation
- AI-driven energy optimization, storage, and load management
Set in Houston, the crossroads of America’s energy and digital economies, the event offers two days of forward-thinking discussion, strategic collaboration, and practical insight into how the industry can build smarter, power cleaner, and operate more resiliently.
Join peers and pioneers who are reimagining how we power the digital world: from the foundation to the grid.
