What is Advancing Data Center EHS Construction 2026?

Advancing Data Center EHS Construction 2026 is the industry's dedicated event for professionals responsible for ensuring safe delivery across data center construction, commissioning and startup activities.

How many people attend?

What makes this event unique?

This is the only event dedicated exclusively to EHS across data center construction and commissioning.

Unlike general construction safety conferences or broader EHS events, every session is built around the specific challenges of delivering modern data centers safely, including:

Contractor coordination and oversight
SIMOPS and multi-trade environments
Workforce competency and onboarding
Crane and lifting operations
Work at height
Energization and startup risk
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
Commissioning and handover
Serious Injury & Fatality (SIF) prevention

The content is specifically designed for teams delivering new data center capacity, not operating live facilities.
