“Many thanks for the privilege of being able to share some of NEXTDC's high level vision of the future of data centres in the AI era - the Data Centre Real Estate Summit attracted a hotbed of well versed expertise from the industry including contractors, consultants, vendors, developers, investors and core senior players in this space allowing some great sessions through the day providing the chance for the sharing of insights, forecasts, post mortems on all things data centre development. It was great how FuturePlace pulled together key ways of learning in the face of expert presentations, fire side discussions, round table breakout sessions, consultant / trade / vendor displays - linking those that had the interest with the experts from the industry that had compelling insights and real-world experience.”
“Fantastic day at the Data Centre Real Estate Summit by FuturePlace. There’s a real shift happening. Data centres are no longer just critical infrastructure. The range of expertise in the room, from legal and advisory professionals to developers and technical specialists, highlighted the growing spotlight on our industry. It’s gaining attention, investment, and dare we say it, becoming pretty “cool”.”
“Just wanted to say it's the best dc conference I've been to in years! The balance of the investment markets side along with the more tech side was the perfect mix and attracted the perfect mix of delegates too.”
“This was the best DC conference I’ve attended. It was well represented by the industry and partners. The venue, food and service was great and it allowed us
to use the space for interactions indoor and outdoor.”
“I enjoyed the opportunity to share my insights on the ANZ data centre market at the Data Centre Real Estate Summit by FuturePlace yesterday in Sydney.
An extremely well run event, turn out with a great mix of industry people from investment to construction. Australia and New Zealand have an important part to play regionally in Asia with data centres and AI investment.”
“A huge shout out and thank you to the Australian Data Centre and Real Estate Summit, organised by FuturePlace. What a great turnout for the event, and what a pleasure to be able to represent Datacom and the breadth and depth of our capability, and in particular our datacentre business. There’s so much happening in the data centre industry at the moment, and events like these really do help to bring together all the threads-and allow for new conversations with new people to drive new thinking.”
“DCRE25 was one of the better-curated Sydney events I’ve attended in years. The delegate mix, content balance and atmosphere were spot on. I can see it becoming a must-attend for anyone serious about the future of data centres.”
