When
4-5 March 2026
Data Centre World (DCW) London is almost here, and the RED Engineering Design team is ready to join one of the industry's most important gatherings for digital infrastructure professionals.
Taking place on 4-5 March 2026, the event will bring together key players to discuss the challenges defining this moment: AI-driven demand, energy resilience, regulatory pressure, and the ongoing push toward decarbonisation.
For RED, it's an opportunity to share how we're approaching these challenges across live projects, engage directly with those delivering infrastructure at scale, and contribute to the conversations shaping the future of data centre design.
KEY INSIGHTS
- Data Centre World London 2026 brings together industry leaders to address the sector's most pressing challenges around AI, energy, and sustainability
- RED's keynote sessions will explore designing for next-generation AI chips and solving complex power challenges for modern data centres
- The event provides a platform to discuss resilient, scalable, and sustainable design strategies with industry professionals
- RED continues to advance practical solutions for low-carbon, AI-ready facilities across Europe and beyond
Our team will be on the ground throughout the event, ready to discuss everything from energy optimisation and modular design to compliance frameworks and sustainable MEP strategies.
Why we're attending DCW London
Digital infrastructure is changing quickly, and events like DCW play an important role in bringing the industry together. RED attends to engage with industry peers, share experience in large-scale, low-carbon infrastructure design, and stay closely connected to the technologies and strategies shaping the sector.
As European data centres face increasing capacity demands alongside stricter environmental and regulatory pressures, the conversations taking place at DCW London are more relevant than ever. They inform how we design, how we plan, and how we support clients navigating complex technical and regulatory landscapes.
Just as importantly, DCW is an opportunity to connect with the people leading these projects - understanding their real-world constraints, exchanging practical insights, and exploring how RED’s expertise can support the next generation of resilient, low-carbon digital infrastructure.
What to expect from RED at DCW London
RED’s presence at the event is focused on sharing practical insight, real-world experience, and the technical expertise behind our work across multiple regions.
At our stand, we’re always happy to talk visitors through how we work, including:
- Modular design approaches that help speed up delivery without compromising performance or long-term reliability
- Renewable integration and sustainable MEP strategies that balance planning, investment, and operational needs
- Energy optimisation and system performance, including load management, efficiency, and carbon reduction
- Embodied carbon and how it fits into wider ESG and sustainability frameworks
We support clients at every stage of a project - from early feasibility and master planning through to detailed design, commissioning, and handover. If you’re delivering projects where performance, compliance, and sustainability are non-negotiable, we’d be glad to talk.
