This bill would let them go off the grid\nAI evolution to drive more complex data center infrastructure\, operations: JLL\nWyoming Approves AI Data Center That Could Become Largest in U.S.\nPower shortages threaten to cap datacenter growth\nGlobal data center sector to nearly double to 200GW amid AI infrastructure boom\n\nWho You’ll Network With: \n\nDevelopers\, Owners & Operators — campus strategists\, AI‑focused builders and portfolio leaders balancing growth\, risk and community expectations across regions.\nHyperscalers\, Cloud & Large End Users — platform\, engineering\, and delivery teams driving requirements for AI campuses\, GPU fabric\,s and low‑latency edge deployments.\nInvestors\, Capital Providers & Lenders — institutions underwriting mega‑campuses\, edge platforms and talent initiatives\, and redefining what “bankable” looks like in 2026.\nConstruction\, Design & Engineering Teams — GCs\, specialty trades\, architects\, structural\, MEP\, and civil engineers advancing modular\, prefab\, and high‑density delivery models.\nNetwork\, Fiber & Infrastructure Providers — dark fiber\, interconnection\, carrier\, and tower partners enabling AI‑ready network topologies and metro‑to‑edge meshes.\nPower\, Utilities & Energy Innovators — utilities\, IPPs\, and on‑site/alternative power providers focused on stretching limited megawatts and sequencing grid‑constrained builds.\nLegal\, Land Use & Permitting Experts — counsel and advisors navigating powered land\, leases\, MSAs\, tax incentives\, permitting paths\, and multi‑jurisdictional approvals.\nOperations\, Talent & Technology Leaders — data center operators\, HR\, and OT/IT leaders responsible for operational excellence\, AI‑augmented workforce\,s and portfolio‑wide performance.\n\nWhy You Should Attend:  \n\nDICE National 2026 is the flagship three‑day forum for everyone responsible for where\, how and how fast the next generation of AI‑ready infrastructure gets built.\nThe agenda follows the full lifecycle—from market selection\, land\, power and community trust to procurement\, construction tech\, cooling\, security\, operations and ESG—so each stakeholder can plug into the same strategic picture.\nWhether you run a single region or a global platform\, this is where you benchmark your approach\, compare notes with peers facing similar constraints\, and walk away with the playbooks\, partners and perspective to compete through 2030.\n\nHow You’ll Do More Business \n\nTranslate three days of conversations into concrete strategies for siting\, powering\, financing and delivering AI‑era campuses\, edges and brownfield upgrades.\nPressure‑test your current pipeline\, procurement plans and talent strategies against what the most active builders\, hyperscalers and capital providers are actually doing in 2026.\nBuild relationships with the specific partners—utilities\, network providers\, constructors\, legal advisors and capital sources—you need to move your next sites from idea to energized capacity.\nLeave with clearer frameworks for prioritizing markets\, projects and capital\n\nLooking to save on your stay?\nSave on your stay near the event venue!
