Data Centre World Frankfurt is the German-speaking region’s largest data center event and one of three flagship DCW shows that CloserStill runs each year (alongside London and Madrid). Two days at Messe Frankfurt draw 5,800+ decision-makers and 280+ exhibitors across colocation, cloud infrastructure, power, cooling, connectivity, and sustainability. It co-locates with Cloud & AI Infrastructure, Cloud & Cyber Security Expo, and Big Data & AI World — one badge covers all four halls.

Frankfurt is the European center of gravity for hyperscale growth and grid-interconnection pressure. The agenda reliably surfaces the conversations the rest of the continent is about to have: what the German grid operators are telling large-load customers, how the EEG and Energy Efficiency Act are reshaping PUE targets, where the liquid-cooling supply chain is tight, and how data center build-out is negotiating with industrial electricity demand.

Attend if you serve German or wider European DACH customers, if you’re evaluating European equipment vendors, or if you want the most direct read on how European operators are responding to grid and regulatory constraints that U.S. operators will be navigating next.
