Keynote Hyperscaler, Neocloud, & Colocator Panel: Defining End-User Requirements & Sharing Project Plans to Enable Scalable Data Centre Execution in a Sovereignty-First Regulatory Environment
8:30 am
- Exploring how priorities around speed, risk, power access, and workforce availability influence where and how data centres are built across Canada: what does our pipeline look like in 2027 and beyond?
- Defining what hyperscalers, neoclouds, and colocators expect from construction and delivery partners when selecting and delivering Canadian data centre projects
- Clarifying how contractors, utilities, and delivery partners are expected to operate under AI-driven speed, density, and risk requirements during construction execution in Canada

Case Study: Managing Equipment Manufacturing Capacity & Lead Times to Protect Data Centre Delivery Schedules
11:00 am
- Understanding how global manufacturing capacity limits for critical equipment (switchgear, generators, chillers) directly shape achievable construction schedules in Canada
- Assessing realistic lead time variability from OEMs and how production bottlenecks impact sequencing decisions on fast-track data centre builds
- Planning construction programmes around fixed manufacturing output constraints to maintain delivery continuity and reduce idle time on site
