Meeting the AI Data Centre Workload — From Every Angle
AI is rewriting the rules for data centre infrastructure — and it takes more than one lens to keep up. That's why Network X's Data Centre Networks track is co-located with Data Center World Europe, giving you access to both events on a single site.
Whether your world is fibre, optical, subsea, routing and network intelligence, or power, build and sovereignty — there's a stage for you here. All Network X passes include access to the Data Center World Europe exhibition, and vice versa.
Two Events, One AI Infrastructure Story
Data centres sit at the centre of the AI boom - but "data centre" means different things to different teams. We've built two focused programmes so you can go deep on what matters to you, and cross over into the other when it's useful.
Network X — Data Centre Networks
The lens: The highways and traffic management of digital infrastructure — how data moves to, from, and within facilities
Core focus: Connecting, routing and optimising data flows; AI network architecture; distributed training
You'll find: Telco–hyperscaler partnerships, optical rollout, subsea cables, DCI, 800G/1.6T pluggables, PON for data centres, digital twins, cyber, data sovereignty (network layer)
Best for: Network architects, optical and transport specialists, partnerships & business development, data centre strategy leads
Data Center World Europe
The lens: The bricks and mortar — the physical infrastructure the ecosystem sits in.
Core focus: Data centre power, sustainable design and building for the AI era.
You'll find: Power generation and procurement, grid connection, sustainability strategies, AI-ready facility design, sovereignty (infrastructure layer).
Best for: Data centre COOs, CTOs, facility and operations managers, site selection and energy leads. Hyperscale data centre operators, capacity and network planners, and energy procurement heads. Data centre hardware and software solution providers.
Data Centre Networks at Network X
Connecting the AI-driven data centre - from the rack to the region
As AI workloads scale, the network connecting and moving data across facilities has become as critical as the compute itself. Network X's Data Centre Networks track covers the full picture: distributed training architectures, high-capacity interconnect, optical rollout, and the roadmap to energy-efficient DCI networks.
Three days, three lenses:
- Day 1 - Market Evolution & Strategic Positioning: How telcos and hyperscalers are partnering to build the networks AI demands
- Day 2 - Technology Innovation & Network Intelligence: AI-driven networking, predictive analytics, digital twins, cyber security and network slicing
- Day 3 - Future-Looking Infrastructure: Data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, security architectures and sustainability
Who's Speaking?
Leaders from Vodafone, Turkcell, Telefonica, ABI Research, Vantage Data Centers, Eurofiber and more, alongside carrier-neutral providers, data centres and telcos shaping the next generation of data centre connectivity.
This is for you if you work in: network architecture and engineering, optical networks, NGON, data centre partnerships and business development, or data centre strategy — particularly if you're focused on hyperscale connectivity.
Data Center World Europe
Building and powering the AI factories of tomorrow.
Data Center World Europe takes on the physical and energy challenge of AI infrastructure - from procuring power to designing facilities built for the AI era.
Two days, energy-first:
- Day 1 - Data Centre Energy: Power procurement, renewable grid connection, and optimising utilisation through efficiency and AI
- Day 2 - Build & Design: Constructing AI factories and infrastructure-layer sovereignty
This is for you if you work in: Operations, facilities, energy procurement, grid utility and power production, or infrastructure build and design — typically COO, CTO, VP Operations, Director of Operations, or Facilities Manager roles.

Not Sure Which One's for You?
A good rule of thumb: if you build and manage the physical infrastructure, start with Data Center World. If you build and manage how data moves through and beyond it, start with Data Centre Networks.
Either way, your pass gets you into both exhibitions - so you're never locked out of a business opportunity that matters to you.
