Shape the Future of EHS Across the United States’ Most Complex Data Center Builds
3 Days of Learning & Collaboration
Across three days of interactive workshops, case studies, panel discussions and audience-led roundtables, gain the practical insight needed to embed world-class EHS performance across every stage of data center construction and commissioning. Leave with actionable strategies to strengthen contractor management, reduce serious injury and fatality (SIF) risk, improve workforce capability and wellbeing, enhance commissioning safety, and build a proactive safety culture that keeps pace with the rapid expansion of hyperscale and AI-driven infrastructure.
This is not a generic health and safety conference filled with broad compliance discussions and sales pitches. Advancing Data Center EHS Construction 2026 is a highly focused, industry-led forum designed specifically for EHS leaders from hyperscalers, colocators, developers, general contractors and trade partners responsible for delivering complex data center projects safely, at speed and at scale.

What to Expect at Advancing Data Center EHS Construction 2026
A Sharper Focus on Construction & Commissioning
New for 2026, the event is dedicated exclusively to the construction and commissioning phases of the data center lifecycle. Following the launch of our Operations event, this year's agenda dives deeper into the industry's highest-risk activities, from contractor coordination and SIMOPS to energization, load bank testing and lockout/tagout, giving attendees more relevant, role-specific insight than ever before.
Brand-New Two-Track Agenda
We've redesigned the conference around how EHS teams actually operate, introducing two dedicated content tracks that separate strategic leadership from field execution. Whether you set enterprise-wide safety strategy or manage day-to-day site activities, you'll benefit from content tailored to your responsibilities.
