From data centres

To the infrastructure behind everything digital.

The evolution

The infrastructure has evolved.

Canada's digital infrastructure landscape is changing. What began with data centres and cloud is expanding across power, connectivity, cooling and AI infrastructure.
The event has evolved to bring these connected infrastructure ecosystems together in one place.

Global Data Centre & Cloud Expo

The original focus on data centre and cloud infrastructure.

A connected ecosystem

Power, connectivity, cooling and emerging infrastructure become increasingly connected.

Global Digital Infrastructure Canada

A broader platform for the infrastructure powering Canada's digital economy.

Six pillars

Everything connected. One ecosystem.

The infrastructure behind digital growth is no longer made up of isolated systems. These six pillars work together.

Data Centres

The physical foundation for Canada's growing digital economy.

Cloud

Cloud infrastructure enabling scalable digital services and workloads.

Power

The energy infrastructure required to power the next generation.

Connectivity

Networks connecting people, systems, facilities and digital services.

Cooling

Efficient thermal infrastructure supporting high-density environments.

AI Infrastructure

Infrastructure built for the rapidly growing demands of AI workloads.

Powering digital infrastructure

Digital growth needs power.

As digital infrastructure scales, power becomes one of the most important parts of the ecosystem. Data centres, cloud platforms and AI workloads all depend on reliable infrastructure.

Reliable power

Infrastructure designed to support always-on digital workloads.

Grid capacity

Capacity and infrastructure planning for growing demand.

Scale

Supporting the next generation of digital infrastructure growth.

Sustainability

Building infrastructure with efficiency and long-term resilience in mind.
