Vertiv Cooling Innovation Day 2026
May 6, 2026 • Live broadcast + on-demand
Presented in partnership with DatacenterDynamics (DCD)
Register nowCooling at scale is the new reality
AI workloads, rising rack densities, and accelerated deployment timelines are transforming how data centers are cooled—from architecture to live operation. Cooling strategies must now balance efficiency, scalability, and reliability, while remaining practical to deploy and manage.
Vertiv Cooling Innovation Day 2026 brings together Vertiv advisors and industry leaders for a focused broadcast examining how cooling strategies are evolving—and how operators are adapting their infrastructures to meet real-world constraints.
Why attend?
This broadcast is designed for teams responsible for planning, deploying, and operating data center cooling infrastructure.
Gain insight into:
How AI is reshaping cooling demand and density planning
Where traditional air-cooling approaches are reaching their limits
How operators are deploying liquid cooling at scale
Practical approaches to hybrid cooling architectures and lifecycle services
Sessions focus on current challenges and near-term decisions—not speculative futures.
What to expect
Across three sessions, speakers will explore:
- The macro forces shaping data center power in 2026
- Adapting power infrastructure to support AI‑driven workloads
- Aligning power distribution, ecosystems, and design strategies for scalable, high‑density deployments
Each discussion connects architecture decisions to deployment, reliability, and long‑term operational impact.
