iMWomen Phoenix Local Chapter | Data Centers 101 Series

February 26, 2026

5:30 - 7:30 PM MST

Phoenix, AZ

About the Event:Data centers are often talked about as if they’re all the same—but the type of data center fundamentally changes where it can be built, how fast it must move, and which risks matter most. Our Data Centers 101 Series: What They Are, Where They Go, and Why will break down the major data center types—hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and edge—and explain why those distinctions aren’t academic. They directly drive site selection, infrastructure requirements, permitting strategy, community engagement, and long-term viability. Through real-world examples and candid discussion, panelists will explore how early decisions ripple through the entire lifecycle of a project, especially in fast-growing markets like Phoenix.
