The 2026 Data Center Investment Conference & Expo (DICE) West will bring together leaders across data center design, finance, construction, and energy as AI-driven infrastructure demand surges on the West Coast. With regional grid constraints, environmental pressures, and limited real estate shaping the market, the conference will provide practical strategies to navigate these challenges. Attendees will gain insights on overcoming infrastructure bottlenecks, accelerating project timelines, leveraging modular and adaptive construction, securing flexible financing, and planning for power-resilient sites. The program offers the connections and intelligence needed to build sustainably, scale efficiently, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving data center landscape.
Greenberg Traurig Shareholder Chelsea Pullen will speak on the session “State of the West Coast Data Center Market: Navigating Growth in 2025 and Beyond,” where she will address how AI is accelerating investment across the region despite aging energy infrastructure and regulatory barriers slowing progress in key markets. She will be joined by Arman Khalili (Partner, Blackstart Infrastructure Partners), Scott Peterson (CEO, Global Compute Infrastructure), and John Sheputis (Co-Founder and Managing Director, Primary Digital Infrastructure).
