The Ultimate Partner Discovery Experience for Buyers & Specifiers

With more and more information exchanged online, we believe in-person content and networking should be experiential, memorable and based upon individuals meeting individuals.

DCD>Connect | Silicon Valley will bring together 500 executives from data center engineering, operational, construction and procurement teams working across the West Coast, for 2 days of debates, workshops, panels, interviews, demos and 1-2-1 introductions to support technology discovery and day-to-day best-practice.

In addition to our industry-leading content, we’ve also added a host of new networking and relationship building opportunities, so that you can connect with the industry's tech innovators in a 5-star setting, (think networking cafes, open bars and wine-tasting experiences) to reinforce your existing relationships and build new ones.

  • That worked. I've been in back to back meetings with people I really need to connect with since I got here. And the App even works!

    Hannibal Flemming, Argo Critical Solutions

  • Kudos to DCD for re-inventing their event model post-pandemic. It's a really high level audience and I'm making great contacts.

    Bill Bubenicek, Generate Capital

  • There's been some real turnover in the industry, so it's been great to re-connect with suppliers and find out who can help me.

    John Ford, Sabey

  • This has been a really good use of my time. Before I got here yesterday I wasn't so sure it was going to work.

    David Eisenband, EYP Mission Critical

  • The pressure we're under to build faster and bigger means my team is always on the lookout for new technology and partners to get us there. For the last year we’ve had to rely heavily on pre-lockdown relationships. We’re coming to diversify our partner ecosystem & strengthen existing relationships, because truthfully, only so much can be done on Zoom.

    Mark Flanagan, Group Managing Director, Kirby Group Engineering

  • We're constantly churning through white papers. Listening to webinars. Looking for case studies on how new technologies are being applied in data centers. But we need to meet vendors face-to-face because we've always got more questions. And it’s not just about understanding the nuances of the tech. It’s about building the trust too.
