With primary data center markets facing constraints in power availability, cost, and scalability, secondary markets are emerging as important hubs for the next wave of AI infrastructure. This session explores what makes a market viable for data center development, from access to power, fiber connectivity, land, and permitting, to the growing importance of interconnection density. As AI inference and latency-sensitive workloads drive demand for more distributed capacity, industry leaders will examine the trade-offs between established hyperscale markets and emerging locations. Attendees will gain insight into how developers and operators can identify markets positioned for long-term growth.
