PRACTICE: Scaling data centre infrastructure in 2026: strategies for the AI era

Monday, February 9, 2026 · 2:30 p.m. · London
About This Webinar

The growing adoption of AI workloads is driving an unprecedented surge in data centre demand, creating new challenges for power, cooling, security, and automation.

This webinar will explore how engineers can design and implement infrastructure that scales efficiently, remains resilient under high workloads, and adapts to the rapid evolution of AI-driven compute.

We will examine why data centre automation and intelligent design are critical in 2026: from modular power and cooling systems to advanced monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automated control strategies. Attendees will gain insight into practical approaches for optimising facility performance, reducing operational complexity, and ensuring equipment is future-ready.

The session will also address the pressures of rapid expansion, high-density compute environments, and energy efficiency, showing how automation can enable rapid deployment and flexible scaling without compromising reliability. By attending, participants will discover how to integrate new technologies, select appropriate components, and design systems capable of meeting the demands of the AI era.

Whether you are responsible for designing equipment, building systems, or engineering facility infrastructure, this webinar will provide actionable strategies to stay ahead of data centre growth in 2026 and beyond.
