What is Shaping Data Center Energy? | Panel & Networking Lunch

About this event
Are you working at the intersection of energy and data center growth? Join us for Summit in the Sky, a private panel and networking event held during Climate Week NYC 2026 at One World Trade Center. This invitation-only event brings together senior energy, sustainability, and procurement leaders from data center operators and large corporate energy buyers to explore the four forces reshaping data center energy strategy: reliability, decarbonization, cost, and community. Alongside a catered networking session, hear directly from senior voices across the data center energy ecosystem as they examine where the tensions are sharpest, how leading organizations are navigating them, and what the decisions being made today mean for the decade ahead. This is a closed event held under Chatham House rules. If you're a senior leader in data center energy or corporate energy procurement interested in joining the conversation, please request to attend above.
