Data Center Symposium 2026

The annual symposium of IDA, the Italian Datacenter Association, the trade body for the companies that build and run data centres in Italy. It runs from the afternoon into the evening at the Parco dei Principi Grand Hotel in Parioli. The Eventbrite listing is private and password-protected, and the agenda, speakers and ticket prices are not published. Expect an industry audience of operators, developers, suppliers and investors rather than a general tech crowd. If you are not already in IDA's orbit, contact the association about access before planning to attend. Why go: this is the Italian data-centre sector's own gathering, convened by its trade association, and the place to hear how operators and suppliers read the market. Worth it if you work on data-centre infrastructure, energy or financing; not a room for casual visitors.
