Featured Session at Trellis Impact 2026: Can Water and Energy Both Win?

Don’t miss Christopher Wellise, Vice President of Equinix Global Sustainability, at Trellis Impact 2026. Join him on Thursday, June 25, from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM for an insightful session on the future of data center sustainability.

How can data center operators reduce their water footprint without increasing carbon emissions? And which strategies and solutions are actually moving the needle?

Data center cooling and operations strategies require the careful balance of two increasingly scarce resources: water and electricity. This panel examines best practices for navigating that dilemma — from cooling technology choices, to responsible site selection, to potential solutions involving the reuse of waste heat and water. Attendees will leave with armed with a clearer understanding of how their data center usage translates into energy and water impact and how they can push for strategies that honor both water and emissions reduction goals.
