Data Center Nation DCN Paris

Data Center Nation (DCN) is an annual trade exhibition and conference dedicated to the future of digital infrastructure. Under the DCN banner, an international portfolio of industry events brings together senior decision-makers, investors and technology providers from across the global data centre ecosystem.

In France, the event is held at the prestigious Palais des Congrès de Paris, where it serves as a key meeting point for Western Europe’s data centre community. It is organised by Winning 10 Ltd., an international event company specialising in high-quality B2B technology platforms.

DCN goes beyond the scope of a traditional exhibition. It positions itself as a strategic forum for advancing digital infrastructure. The agenda focuses on contemporary issues such as next-generation data centre architectures, energy-efficient IT infrastructure, grid decarbonisation, innovative power and cooling systems, physical security solutions, cloud and colocation models, and the evolution of edge computing environments. Particular emphasis is placed on the growing demand for AI-ready facilities and the integration of AI workloads into existing infrastructure. In doing so, the event addresses the sector’s core challenge: aligning performance, sustainability and scalability.

The exhibition showcases a broad spectrum of solutions, including server and storage platforms, modular data centre solutions, UPS and power distribution systems, cooling technologies, fire detection and access control systems, monitoring software, automation tools, and specialist consultancy and colocation services. Exhibitors represent IT hardware, energy and building services engineering, security technologies, cloud services, construction and engineering, as well as investment and advisory services—providing comprehensive coverage of the entire data centre value chain.

Key attendees include hyperscalers, enterprise data centre operators, colocation providers, cloud service providers, investors, developers, facilities managers, and IT and infrastructure leaders from industry, finance, telecommunications and the public sector.

A central feature of the event is its conference programme, which brings together leading industry experts, investors and technology providers. Speakers present market intelligence, case studies and practical solutions. The integrated exhibition and conference format encourages high-level peer exchange and supports the development of tangible investment projects.

As part of an international event series, Data Center Nation is also hosted in other major European cities, creating a cross-border network that facilitates knowledge transfer and investment flows throughout the region.

The Palais des Congrès de Paris provides an outstanding setting: modern facilities, distinctive architecture and a prime location at Porte Maillot. With excellent links to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, the city’s public transport network and the nearby La Défense business district, the venue offers ideal conditions for an international trade fair that actively contributes to Europe’s digital transformation.

The Data Center Nation DCN will take place on Saturday, 30. May 2026 in Paris.
