Third Annual Data Center-Austin Conference Back by Popular Demand!
Austin, TX, June 8, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Having already begun with a running start the last two years, this conference is promised to be even bigger and better in 2017, with the help of the new DCAC steering committee under the continued direction of Kirk Offel, EVP of Platform Delivery at Aligned Energy, and innovator of this unprecedented conference.
When asked about why DCAC was started, Offel stated, “Too many of the conferences in our industry are either cost prohibitive or merely a copy of another. The genesis of this event was simple – we were purely looking for a disruptive forum for a more meaningful exchange of ideas for the Data Center Industry. We believe that DCAC is the most content-driven networking conference in the industry, plus it's affordable for everyone. We didn’t feel that the industry needed another conference, we felt that the industry needed a better conference.”
"We didn't feel that the industry needed another conference, we felt that the industry needed a BETTER conference."

At the show, attendees will be able to learn from the industry’s most respected thought leaders and forward-thinking decision makers, connect with other like-minded individuals, develop powerful relationships and collaborate with C-Level executives, partners, and prospects alike.
According to Offel, “Although the celebrity guest speaker last year, Gary Busey, was a much-needed change of pace to the traditional Data Center conference keynote speakers, in order to shift toward more content-focused this year, we are excited to be able say that DCAC will be headlined by one of the highly esteemed and innovative members of Founders Fund.”
