New Austin Event to Unite Data Center, AI, Fiber, Power, and Investment Leaders on September 16–17, 2025
In a move to create move value for the data center industry, Techoraco – the organizers behind such industry leading conferences like ITW, Datacloud and Metro Connect, have announced the launch of Metro Connect Fall and Datacloud Energy USA, set to take place alongside Datacloud USA in Austin, Texas, from September 16–17, 2025.
This premier event will convene key decision-makers from across the data center, AI, fiber, power, and investment ecosystems to drive critical discussions and strategic partnerships. With data center capital expenditures expected to surpass $1 trillion by 2029, this event is poised to be a pivotal moment in shaping the industry’s future.
A New Platform for Connectivity and Capital
Metro Connect Fall is designed to be the industry’s go-to platform for linking fiber operators and investors with data center and hyperscale leaders—ensuring multi-billion-dollar facilities do not remain isolated warehouses. As AI inferencing accelerates low-latency data demands, fiber infrastructure investments are more critical than ever.
Meanwhile, Datacloud Energy USA will address the pressing issue of power availability and sustainability, bringing together power providers, grid operators, and data center executives to explore regulatory, cost, and scalability challenges. With AI-driven data center demand forecasted to grow at a 15% CAGR through 2027 (JLL, 2025) and power constraints becoming a bottleneck, securing energy sources will be a top priority.
“The rapid evolution of AI and digital infrastructure is creating an urgent need for scalable power, fiber connectivity, and investment,” said Annabel Helm, Managing Director of Datacloud. “By launching Metro Connect Fall and Datacloud Energy USA alongside Datacloud USA, we are bringing together the key decision-makers who will shape the future of data centers and digital infrastructure. Austin will be the epicenter of these critical discussions, ensuring the industry is ready to meet the demands of the AI-driven future.”
