The 7×24 Exchange Spring Conference is one of the data center industry’s longest-running and most respected gatherings, focused squarely on mission-critical facility operations. The community draws heavily from the people who keep facilities running — chief engineers, operations directors, reliability managers, and the vendors who support them.

The 2026 Spring edition in Orlando centers on “Future Proofing the AI Data Center,” tackling the operational challenges that come with deploying high-density AI infrastructure in facilities originally designed for traditional enterprise workloads. Sessions cover power delivery upgrades, cooling retrofits, staffing and training, and the changing risk profile of AI-driven facilities. The event also features the 7×24 Exchange’s signature networking format, built around peer-to-peer knowledge sharing rather than vendor presentations.
