Brief

Data Center Dynamics is promoting a January 29, 2026 webcast focused on AI data center construction rather than publishing new reporting. The agenda is notable for two concrete themes: fire-protection design for high-density facilities with lithium-ion batteries and onsite power, and how training versus inference workloads are influencing site selection, permitting, and build strategy as operators chase faster deployment and more flexible capacity.

Dear Spencer,

Our first Data Center Construction broadcast of 2026 will stream on our website from 9am ET (2pm GMT) on Thursday, January 29th. Join industry experts as they explore strategies for building resilient, future-ready facilities and charting the next wave of AI data center expansion.

From awareness to action - Integrated fire protection strategies for resilience//_9am ET

Featuring Alison Wakelin, Andy Wolfe, and Mark Suski from Jensen Hughes

High-density facilities introduce new fire risks, from lithium-ion batteries to onsite power and rising heat loads. This session explores how to embed fire protection into design and planning, manage emerging hazards, and navigate approvals with a coordinated, risk-led approach.

Charting the next wave of AI data center expansion[]( )// _10am ET

Featuring Lottie Tollman of Colliers, Marcel Mendes da Costa from Borealis Data Center, and Robert LoBuono from Gensler

As AI workloads evolve, site selection and build strategies are shifting fast. Hear how training and inference are shaping future location strategies, how operators are managing speed to market and flexibility, and where the next AI expansion hotspots are emerging.

I've dropped a link to this broadcast in the calendar invite attached so you don't miss it. You can also stream it on-demand here.

Kind regards,

Emma Brookes
