Data Center Investment Conference & Expo (DICE): Rockies

This conference, part of the Bisnow DICE Series, focuses on Power Constraints, AI Demand, and the Race to Deliver Next-Generation Digital Infrastructure. The DICE series is dedicated to the data center industry, convening developers, investors, operators, and infrastructure providers who are actively shaping data center growth. This specific event addresses the Mountain West's evolution into a strategic node for data center deployment, examining multi-state corridors (Colorado, Utah, New Mexico) and how power availability, interconnection routes, and regulatory frameworks impact capital flow. It will cover challenges in execution, complex power procurement, and the redefinition of how large-load users secure capacity. The event also highlights the rapid shift towards AI-driven workloads, pushing rack densities and forcing re-evaluation of cooling strategies, water usage, and system design. Key learning outcomes include understanding multi-state deployment strategies for the Rockies, project financeability, securing power in Colorado (tariffs, contracts, cost allocation), regulatory requirements for megawatt capacity, AI's impact on cooling strategies (air, liquid, hybrid), water, power, and policy constraints across the Front Range, phasing and connectivity for Denver-area projects, mitigating construction and delivery risk, and how connectivity and campus design influence leasing velocity and long-term asset value.
