In the digital age, AI always on, and data centers never off. As rack power moves toward 600 kW and cooling accounts for up to 40% of total energy consumption, the data center industry faces an unprecedented challenge: delivering uninterrupted, efficient operations for the explosive growth of Generative AI. Traditional air cooling is reaching its limits, regulatory frameworks across Europe demand greater sustainability, and ultra-high-density computing is reshaping every aspect of data center design—this is where the future of thermal management is forged.

Join us on November 9-10, 2026 in Frankfurt, Germany, at the Europe Data Center Cooling and Thermal Management Forum, where industry leaders, technology innovators, and decision-makers will come together to shape the next generation of resilient, efficient, and scalable cooling solutions.

🌟 25+ expert speakers – real conversations, real case studies

🌟 20+ deep-dive sessions across 2 days

🌟 200+ attendees across the value chain

🌟 10+ hours of dedicated networking with decision-makers

Our agenda spans the entire thermal ecosystem – from chip-level emulation and liquid cooling architectures to site selection, waste heat recovery, and grid constraints. What you will learn:

1, Scale Liquid Cooling – From Direct‑to‑Chip and immersion to hybrid architectures – real-world deployment strategies.

2, Optimize PUE & WUE – Practical approaches to reduce energy and water usage while meeting tightening EU regulations (EnEFG, 42nd BImSchV).

3, Retrofit for AI Workloads – How to upgrade legacy air‑cooled facilities for high‑density GPU computing using CFD and modular designs.

4, Unlock Waste Heat Revenue – Integrate data center heat recovery into urban energy systems – turning a cost into a profit center.

5, Prepare for Next‑Gen Chips – Thermal challenges of 1800W‑2000W class processors and how to design “liquid‑first” infrastructure.

6, Navigate Grid & Water Constraints – Site selection, power availability, and resilience planning for extreme weather and capacity expansion.
