iMWomen Phoenix Presents: Data Centers 101 — Part 3: Construction

  • August 4, 2026
  • 5:30 – 7:30 PM MST
  • Diverge Innovation Center, 3125 E Wood St Suite 200, Phoenix, AZ 85040

From Design to Delivery: Building Data Centers in a High-Demand Market

As demand for AI and digital infrastructure accelerates, data center construction teams are under pressure to deliver faster, coordinate more complex systems, and manage risk across every phase of the project lifecycle.

Join iMWomen Phoenix for Part 3 of our Data Centers 101 Tech Talk series: a panel exploring how construction leaders move data centers from plan to reality — connecting design intent, pre-construction, procurement, field execution, commissioning readiness, and delivery.

Panelists will discuss:

  • Pre-construction planning and constructability
  • Schedule compression and long-lead equipment
  • Trade coordination and workforce readiness
  • Quality, safety, and commissioning alignment
  • Risks unique to fast-growing markets like Phoenix

Expect practical insights, real-world perspectives, and an interactive discussion — plus drinks, snacks, and networking afterward.
