Event Brief

Vietnam is no longer an emerging player—it is becoming Southeast Asia’s next digital powerhouse. With cloud adoption skyrocketing, AI infrastructure accelerating, and hyperscalers scouting for multi-hundred-megawatt campuses, the nation is rapidly stepping onto the global stage as one of the region’s most attractive destinations for digital infrastructure investment. Backed by strong government policy, booming enterprise demand, and a fast-maturing data center ecosystem, Vietnam is gearing up for its biggest leap yet.

VNCDC 2026 is where that future takes shape.

This year’s convention brings together the most influential voices in cloud, AI, and digital infrastructure—global technology leaders, regulators, power and cooling innovators, investors, and enterprise visionaries. Expect hard-hitting keynotes, candid panel debates, and deep technical dives into the trends that will define Vietnam’s next decade: AI-ready data centers, high-density design, liquid cooling breakthroughs, green energy mandates, sovereign cloud requirements, and the race to build hyperscale capacity.

With 35+ world-class speakers, 25+ cutting-edge exhibitors, and a powerful community of 1,000+ delegates across cloud, data center, enterprise IT, and government, VNCDC 2026 is the largest and most important cloud and data center event in Vietnam. Attendees will gain market-shaping insights, meet decision-makers driving billion-dollar investments, and discover the technologies and partnerships that will transform Vietnam’s digital future.

Join us at VNCDC 2026—the place where Vietnam’s next-generation cloud and data center landscape is revealed, reshaped, and reimagined. This is the event you cannot miss if you want to lead in the region’s fastest-rising digital economy.

[Keynote] Completing Tier-Driven Resilience with Comprehensive Cyber Assessment to Prevent Unplanned Outages

Tier Certification remains the global benchmark for demonstrating data center availability and resilience by design. But in today’s threat environment, maintaining uptime also depends on understanding whether cyber weaknesses in building controls, OT, remote access, identity, vendor pathways, and shared digital dependencies could trigger operational disruption. This keynote explores why comprehensive cyber assessment has become the missing pillar in preventing unplanned outages. It will show how operators can complement Tier-driven resilience with remediation-focused cyber visibility across physical and electronic systems, strengthen investor and tenant confidence, and close the growing gap between infrastructure designed to be available and infrastructure proven to be cyber-resilient.
