About the Event:
The fourth Infrastructure Masons Leadership Summit was held in conjunction with DCD London on November 6th, from 14:00 – 17:00. Attendees participated in discussions about challenges our members are tackling and where the industry is heading. As with past events, this session provided a great opportunity for all attendees to connect, grow and give back.
Agenda Topics:
The agenda provided members with deep insights into the digital infrastructure landscape through a variety of engaging formats, reflecting a focus on leadership, innovation, and future trends.
One of the key formats was the Fireside Chat, which brought together industry pioneers for informal discussions and Q&A sessions. This approach allows for candid conversations with influential leaders.
A highlight of the summit was a chat with Lex Coors, Chief Data Center Technology and Engineering Officer at Interxion. He is known for his significant contributions to the industry, including pioneering energy-efficient and modular approaches to data center architecture.
Another popular format was the Lightning Sessions, a series of rapid-fire, 10-minute presentations delivered by experts. This member-favorite format is designed for maximum learning in a short time, with a strict “no sales pitches” rule to ensure the focus remains on insights, experiences, and future trends. Sessions covered critical topics such as:
- The evolution and ownership of the Edge
- Power distribution trends
- The impact of high-intensity applications
- Increased fibre densification within data centers
