Transforming Legacy Data Centers into High-Density, AI-Ready Infrastructure

Optimizing Critical Systems & Equipment in Existing Assets for Next-Generation Workloads to Increase Capacity While Maintaining Uptime

With AI workloads pushing infrastructure requirements to new extremes, the race to unlock capacity is no longer just about building new. For many teams, the biggest opportunity lies in modernizing the assets they already have.

Advancing Data Center Retrofits is the dedicated forum for the facility, design, construction and operations leaders transforming live data center environments into higher-density, AI-ready infrastructure. Join hyperscalers, colocators, design firms and contractors to explore how retrofit programs are being planned, prioritized and delivered without compromising uptime.

Through practical case studies and candid peer discussion, uncover how leading teams are overcoming site constraints, integrating new systems with legacy infrastructure, and extending the life and performance of existing facilities at scale.

One Pass. Two Data Center Events.

Taking place alongside our flagship meeting, Advancing Data Center Construction East, Advancing Data Center Retrofits gives you access to a wider gathering of 800+ data center leaders across the full value chain, from owners, operators and developers to design, construction, engineering and technology partners.

This means more opportunities to build relationships beyond the retrofit room, benchmark priorities across the broader market, and connect with the teams shaping data center delivery, operations and investment across the East Coast and beyond.
