PowerUp Data Centers Investment Summit

October 27 - 29, 2026  |  Hilton McLean Tyson Corner  |  McLean, VA

Meet the Public and Private Capital to Fund the Power Infrastructure Behind AI and Other Data Centers

The data center buildout is the most consequential business opportunity in the world, which depends on quickly securing gigawatts of power. On the energy development side, if a company is not now advancing a data center strategy, it is going to go the way of the dinosaurs. The need to quickly implement power supply solutions to enable data center buildout is driving a multitude of innovative power supply deals, which increasingly intertwine data center and power generation projects. The CAPEX needs of these projects can run to billions of dollars and involve highly bespoke financial structures that combine the very different needs and requirements of financing methods used for data center projects with the complex project financing structures that underlie almost all generation projects and will necessitate tapping into a huge number of financiers and investors to obtain capital.

The only survivors will be the ones where energy and tech are married, with the ability to quickly put deal structures together, assess where funding gaps lie, meet the financial players who can really fill those gaps, and assure that projects are bankable.

PowerUp Data Centers – Investment will provide insights into the emerging hybrid deal structures being used to finance data centers, powered land, shell, and power generation infrastructure, and help you meet the key players who can move your projects forward. High powered networking is at the heart of this event. You’ll walk away with fresh intelligence, innovative deal strategies, and critical relationships that will power your business.

  • Explore how to use increasingly intertwined and complex financial structures to obtain massive amounts of capital for data centers and power campuses 
  • Identify critical milestones and manage risks in financing Bring Your Own Power (BYOP) projects 
  • Evaluate where the funding gaps lie, and how they might be best filled
  • Hear from private equity, debt, and the criteria they need to be met to finance projects 
  • Assess how M&A will affect data center, shell, and powered land developers, and evaluate potential exit strategies
