The 7×24 Exchange Fall Conference is the second of the organization’s two annual national gatherings, bringing together data center operations professionals for four days of technical sessions, peer networking, and facility tours. The fall event typically draws a strong contingent from the southern and central US chapters.

The 2026 Fall edition in San Antonio focuses on “The Intersection of AI and Traditional Data Centers” — a practical look at how operations teams are adapting existing facilities and processes to support AI workloads alongside legacy enterprise infrastructure. For operations engineers and facility managers navigating the transition from 10 kW racks to 40+ kW racks, this is essential peer learning.
