Europe Data Center Cooling and Thermal Management Forum 2026Europe Data Center Cooling and Thermal Management Forum 2026

In the digital age, AI always on, and data centers never off. As rack power moves toward 600 kW and cooling accounts for up to 40% of total energy consumption, the data center industry faces an unprecedented challenge: delivering uninterrupted, efficient operations for the explosive growth of Generative AI. Traditional air cooling is reaching its limits, regulatory frameworks across Europe demand greater sustainability, and ultra-high-density computing is reshaping every aspect of data center design—this is where the future of thermal management is forged. Join us on November 17–18, 2026 in Frankfurt, Germany, at the Europe Data Center Cooling and Thermal Management Forum, where industry leaders, technology innovators, and decision-makers will come together to shape the next generation of resilient, efficient, and scalable cooling solutions. What You’ll Gain 1, A Strategic View of the AI Infrastructure Shift Explore how AI workloads are transforming data center demand, design, and deployment strategies across Europe and globally. 2, Deep Dive into Next-Gen Cooling Technologies From direct-to-chip (D2C) to immersion cooling, understand how liquid cooling is moving from pilot projects to large-scale deployment—and what it means for your business. 3, Efficiency Meets Sustainability Learn how leading operators are optimizing PUE and WUE, reducing costs, and aligning with Europe’s strict sustainability and energy efficiency regulations. 4, Real-World Deployment & Retrofitting Strategies Discover how to upgrade legacy air-cooled facilities, accelerate delivery with modular data centers, and integrate cooling systems from day one. 5, Future-Proofing Data Centers Gain insights into resilient system design to withstand extreme climate conditions, power instability, and AI-driven demand spikes.
