Oslo 2025

Datacenter Forum is back in Oslo, already for the 11th time!

A wide variety of experts will bring you up-to-date in all fields relating to managing & operating IT infrastructure. Key topics include data center developments in Norway, renewable energy initiatives, power efficiency in data centers, connectivity solutions, cloud computing trends, emerging technologies, investment opportunities, industry standards and policy developments

Insights Forum

New in Oslo are the Datacenter Insights Forums: expert-led sessions that bring together leaders from across the datacenter industry on the four topics that matter most to IT end-user – AI, ESG, Investment, and Energy – will provide valuable insights to help you navigate the complex world of modern datacenters.

Datacenter Changemakers Norway

Back in Olso is Datacenter Changemakers Norway, our live talk shows with the people who are changing the face of the data center industry. The most pressing issues facing the digital infrastructure sector, ranging from AI to implementing new sustainability regulation and ESG policy compliance, will be discussed. 

Hosted & moderated by Liselotte Lyngsø, Founder of Future Navigator. 

Topics include:

A Tsunami of Letters: ESG & Regulatory Compliance

With new policy, legislation, and regulation demanding more sustainable infrastructure going forward, data center operators must now face the (often-daunting) task of complying with sustainability reporting requirements. Amid the ever-growing importance of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) standards and the adoption of new regulations, such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), small data center operators in particular need to pay full attention to compliance. This segment will address what you need to do to prepare going forward.

Powering Norway's Data Future

Data center markets across North America and mainland Europe increasingly face a significant challenge to growth and future investment: access to electricity. The Nordics have great connectivity with the rest of the world and – seemingly – room for growth to spare, ample space and plenty of renewable energy. How can Norway in particular continue to capitalize on its competitive energy advantage and generate new investment opportunities in the coming years? And what will the electricity grid of the (near) future look like?

Navigating the AI Revolution

The explosion in AI demand has significant implications for the data center industry and IT management. From ever-increasing energy needs, to innovative cooling requirements, AI applications and high-performing computing are fundamentally transforming data centers across the Nordics. We will explore how Norwegian data center providers are navigating the complexities surrounding AI, working to meet their customer demands, and pioneering state-of-the-art innovation such as liquid cooling.
