Advancing Data Center Construction East is the flagship event in the Advancing Construction series, and the largest annual gathering focused specifically on the physical construction of data centers. The Atlanta event draws general contractors, MEP engineering firms, commissioning agents, project managers, and developer representatives from across the eastern US and beyond.

The conference covers the full construction lifecycle: site development, foundation and structural work, electrical and mechanical systems installation, commissioning, and turnover. With data center construction timelines under intense pressure from AI-driven demand, sessions increasingly focus on schedule acceleration, prefabrication, modular construction, and workforce development for the specialized trades required in DC buildout.
