Plenary Sessions
Welcome to W.Media’s Dubai Cloud & Data Center Convention 2026!
The Dubai Cloud & Data Center Convention 2026 is set to bring together the UAE and Middle East’s foremost leaders in cloud, AI, and digital infrastructure at the heart of one of the region’s premier technological and business hubs. Dubai’s emergence as a global nexus for hyperscale data centers, subsea cable landings, interconnectivity hubs, and high-performance AI compute infrastructure makes this event the central platform for strategists shaping the region’s digital future and innovation landscape.
The 2026 edition will spotlight Dubai’s rapidly scaling cloud and digital ecosystem, powered by world-class infrastructure, abundant energy resources, robust fiber networks, and strategic geographic positioning as a gateway connecting the Middle East to Europe, Africa, and Asia. Key stakeholders including hyperscalers, colocation providers, enterprise CIOs, telecom and network specialists, energy experts, real estate developers, and government officials will convene to share insights and collaborate on AI-ready infrastructure, sustainable power and cooling, subsea cable expansion, edge computing deployments, and enterprise cloud adoption.
Dubai and the broader UAE will be a central focus area, with ongoing major investments in ultra-large campus-style data centers designed to support future demand. The region’s vibrant economic landscape driven by trade, finance, and innovation complements the diverse digital infrastructure needs spanning cloud, AI, smart cities, and mission-critical facilities. Dubai’s growing connectivity through subsea cables and regional partnerships further cements its critical role as a global interconnect and data center gateway for the Middle East and the wider Asia-Pacific corridor.
The W.Media Convention will feature thought-leadership keynotes, exclusive CIO/CTO roundtables, technology showcases, and in-depth discussions aimed at empowering decision-makers to architect the future of digital infrastructure in Dubai and beyond. For anyone invested in cloud, AI, connectivity, colocation, or the future of the Middle East’s digital backbone, the Dubai Cloud & Data Center Convention 2026 is the premier event where the roadmap for the region’s next decade will be drawn.
