The first edition of the DC Conference, taking place in Natal on October 23, gathers experts to discuss the future of digital infrastructure and energy sustainability in data centers.
The rapid advancement of the digital economy and the growing demand for data processing have placed Brazil at a decisive turning point for technology infrastructure.
To discuss the path forward for this expansion, the capital of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, will host the 1st Edition of the DC Conference – the International Data Center Conference.
The meeting, held at the FIERN auditorium, serves as a convergence point for key players in the power sector, technology, and infrastructure markets.
Organized by the Grupo FRG Mídias e Eventos, the event aims to build a strategic bridge between investors, operators, and public entities.
The primary goal is to align guidelines that will allow the country to scale its data centers sustainably and efficiently, ensuring that technological development keeps pace with the nation’s regulatory and environmental requirements.
Strategic pillars and energy security
The conference program is designed to address the sector’s most critical challenges.
Among the topics set to dominate the discussions, energy security takes center stage.
Experts will discuss advanced solutions, such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and backup strategies that ensure the high availability required for critical operations, while also exploring the fundamental role of energy distributors in this ecosystem.
Another central topic will be the concept of Green Data Centers, where ESG practices and decarbonization guide innovations in high-performance cooling and the conscious use of water resources.
Legal discussions will also have a dedicated space, focusing on licensing, technical liability, and compliance, providing a practical guide for those operating at the forefront of the industry.
The convergence of artificial intelligence, the pursuit of clean energy, and the strategic potential of the Northeast create a promising scenario for the expansion of Brazil’s digital infrastructure, requiring an ongoing dialogue between technology and regulation.
Networking and market opportunities
Beyond the dense agenda of panels and lectures, the event will feature DC Connection, a space exclusively dedicated to fostering partnerships and high-level networking.
The DC Conference will feature key organizations and companies, such as ABDC, CREA-RN, IDEMA, Neoenergia Cosern, and POTIGÁS, establishing itself as an essential forum for those active in the market.
Registration for the event, which takes place on October 23 at the FIERN headquarters in Natal, is now open.
