The DCAC Anti-Conference takes a deliberately different approach to industry events — no vendor booths, no sales pitches, no PowerPoint presentations. Instead, it runs on peer-led discussions, unconference-style breakout sessions, and facilitated conversations among the people who actually design, build, and operate data centers.

The 2026 Europe edition in London continues the format’s expansion beyond its Austin roots, bringing the community-driven model to the European DC operations community. Topics emerge from attendee interests on the day, but typically cover operational challenges, staffing, sustainability, new construction approaches, and the practical realities of deploying emerging technologies. If you’re tired of vendor-driven conference agendas, DCAC is the antidote.
