Honolulu, HI | August 27, 2026 – The Nomad Futurist Foundation is proud to announce a strategic partnership with IMN to support two of the industry’s premier investment and infrastructure events in 2026: Data Centres Private Equity Europe on October 1, 2026, in London, and Data Centers Private Equity West on October 15, 2026, in San Francisco.
As artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and accelerating digital transformation continue to reshape the global economy, investment in digital infrastructure has never been more critical. Through this partnership, Nomad Futurist and IMN will bring together the investors, developers, operators, utilities, technology providers, and industry leaders driving the future of data centers while elevating the conversations around innovation, sustainability, and workforce development.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the digital infrastructure ecosystem by connecting the business leaders investing in tomorrow’s infrastructure with the initiatives developing tomorrow’s workforce. As the industry’s talent gap continues to grow alongside unprecedented infrastructure demand, fostering collaboration between capital markets, technology leaders, and workforce development organizations has become increasingly important.
“At Nomad Futurist, we believe the future of digital infrastructure depends not only on technological innovation, but also on investing in people,” said Nabeel Mahmood, Co-Founder of Nomad Futurist. “Partnering with IMN provides an opportunity to engage with the leaders shaping the future of digital infrastructure investment while reinforcing the importance of developing the skilled workforce needed to support the industry’s continued growth.”
The first event, Data Centres Private Equity Europe, will convene leading investors and infrastructure stakeholders in London to explore the market forces, investment strategies, and infrastructure developments shaping Europe’s rapidly expanding digital economy.
Two weeks later, Data Centers Private Equity West will bring the industry together in Silicon Valley to examine the investment trends, utility partnerships, and infrastructure strategies driving the continued evolution of North America’s data center market.
Together, these forums provide valuable opportunities for meaningful collaboration, knowledge sharing, and strategic partnerships across the digital infrastructure ecosystem. By supporting both events, the Nomad Futurist Foundation continues its mission to educate, inspire, and empower the next generation of digital infrastructure professionals while connecting industry leaders around the shared responsibility of building a resilient, sustainable, and future-ready digital world.
Registration is now open for both events. Attendees who register before July 31 can save $600 with early bird pricing and receive additional savings by using discount code NOMADFUTURIST25.
