American Data Centers Forum: From Building to Powering

Date: April 23–24, 2026
Location: Houston, Texas

As artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital transformation accelerate demand for data capacity, the challenge facing the industry is no longer how fast data centers can be built—but how they can be powered reliably, sustainably, and at scale.

The American Data Centers Forum: From Building to Powering is a national, future-focused event dedicated to the energy, infrastructure, and innovation behind America’s next generation of data centers. Taking place in Houston on April 23–24, 2026, the forum will convene data center developers, utilities, energy providers, policymakers, and technology leaders to tackle the critical issue of powering digital infrastructure securely and sustainably.

From hydrogen and small modular reactors (SMRs) to microgrids, renewables, and carbon capture and storage (CCUS), discussions will focus on real-world pathways to strengthening and decarbonizing the nation’s digital backbone. Through expert-led sessions and panel discussions, attendees will gain actionable insights into:

• Designing energy-resilient data centers across diverse U.S. power markets
• Integrating hydrogen, nuclear, and other clean energy solutions at scale
• Balancing on-site generation with grid reliability and interconnection
• Deploying CCUS and other technologies to achieve net-zero operations
• Financing models and policy frameworks driving energy innovation
• AI-driven energy optimization, storage solutions, and load management

Hosted in Houston—the intersection of America’s energy expertise and digital growth—the forum offers two days of forward-looking dialogue, strategic collaboration, and practical insight. Participants will explore how the industry can build smarter facilities, power them cleaner, and operate with greater resilience.

Join the leaders and innovators redefining how the digital world is powered—from the foundation to the grid.
