About this event

DICE Dallas is Bisnow's quarterly data center industry conference focusing on the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the United States. The event brings together data center developers, investors, operators, and technology providers to discuss the region's expanding digital infrastructure needs.

The conference features panel discussions on hyperscale development, edge computing deployments, and the growing demand from cloud service providers establishing presence in Texas. Sessions cover topics including power infrastructure challenges, with ERCOT grid considerations specific to the Texas market, and cooling technologies adapted to the region's climate.

The event attracts representatives from major colocation providers operating in the market such as Digital Realty, CyrusOne, and DataBank, alongside hyperscale operators expanding their Texas footprint. Investment panels discuss capital flows into the DFW data center market, which has seen billions in announced investments over recent years.

The conference includes structured networking sessions and typically features site tours of operational data center facilities in the metro area.
