Datacloud to Address Sustainability Challenges in Cannes
Datacloud Global Congress returns to Cannes next month for its 20th anniversary, with sustainability positioned as a central focus for the data centre industry event taking place from 3-5 June 2025.
The congress, organised by techoraco, will be held at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, bringing together professionals from data centres, cloud infrastructure, edge computing and artificial intelligence sectors to address pressing environmental challenges.
Amid growing concerns about the environmental impact of data centres, particularly as AI adoption accelerates power demands, the event aims to facilitate discussions between technology leaders and sustainability professionals to develop practical solutions for reducing carbon footprints while meeting digital infrastructure needs.
- Datacloud Global Congress is an annual gathering for decision-makers across the digital infrastructure ecosystem
- It takes place in Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, Cannes, between 3-5 June
- The event will feature top-tier speakers from global tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, Meta and Schneider Electric
“We’re excited to partner with Spa Communications to mark our 20th anniversary for Datacloud Global Congress 2025,” says Annabel Helm, Managing Director of Datacloud at techoraco.
“This year’s Congress is set to be the best yet and will provide delegates with the opportunity to share insights with leading decision makers and industry experts from across the world. Having Spa on board to handle our media and PR relationships will enable us to reach the widest audience, enabling speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors to make long-lasting connections on a global scale for future success.”
How Datacloud hopes to address critical sustainability concerns
The congress will open with a keynote panel featuring industry veterans including Susanna Kass, Val Walsh, VP at Microsoft and Otto Kreiter, Director Global Infrastructure at Google.
The panel will explore challenges around global scaling of data infrastructure in the AI era while addressing sustainability concerns.
A persistent issue also facing the data centre industry is the shortage of sustainability talent, which will be examined through discussions about recruitment, training and retention strategies. The panel will assess how organisations can build teams with the necessary expertise to implement effective environmental practices.
Datacloud comes at a crucial time as the industry faces mounting pressure to reduce emissions while supporting exponential growth in data processing requirements driven by AI applications.
Across the two days, other speakers include:
- Dame Dawn Childs, CEO at Pure Data Centres Group
- Doug Loewe, CEO at Kao Data
- Thierry Chamayou, Vice-President of Cloud and Service Providers in EMEA at Schneider Electric
- Richard Bienfait, Chief Financial Officer at STACK Infrastructure
