Featured Session at Data Center Frontier 2026: Colocation in the AI Era: Capacity, Customers and the New Economics
As AI demand reshapes the digital infrastructure landscape, colocation operators face a new strategic imperative: balancing unprecedented power requirements with evolving risk, pricing, and campus design. Join Equinix leaders Stefan Raab (Senior Director of Business Development, AMER) and Lindsay Schulz (Global Principal Technologist) for a high-stakes discussion on what it takes to navigate the changing economics of colocation in the AI era.
Together, they will explore how the rise of neocloud providers, expanding hyperscaler footprints, and shifting enterprise needs are fundamentally altering deal dynamics and capacity allocation. The session will dive deep into real-world customer requirements, evolving contract structures, and how operators can effectively future-proof their platform architecture for long-term operational success.
