Johannesburg’s Data Centre Summit connects digital demand with energy planning

The Data Centre Summit is scheduled for 29 October 2026 at the Maslow Hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg, alongside VUKA Group’s wider energy and storage programme.

Its agenda links data centre demand with power procurement, cooling, water use and project finance. Organiser materials also include practical sessions on design and energy.

The combination reflects the operational reality of digital infrastructure: computing capacity depends on physical resources and reliable facilities, not only servers and connectivity.

Delegates should distinguish the one-day data centre programme from the wider 28–29 October co-located summit. Ticket packages and access arrangements differ, so the organiser’s current programme is the useful reference for planning a visit.
