Details

Phoenix continues to be one of the nation's hottest markets for data centers - ranking 4th in absorption levels and 6th in the U.S. overall for 2017.

As 2017 closed out with record-setting M&As in the sector ($10B in the first half alone), including the December 2017 $1.3B acquisition of Phoenix's very own IO Data Centers by Iron Mountain, what's next for the sector?

Hear from experts on how Phoenix is uniquely well-positioned to meet demand from sectors such as tech, banking and financial services, health care, and retail and e-commerce in 2018.

We'll kick off the day with our Data Center State of the Market, with the leading developers that are expanding in Phoenix, followed by From Infrastructure to the Cloud: Bridging the Gap panel on leading infrastructure strategy from a wide range of perspectives.
