Agenda
09:45 – Welcome
Arrival, introductions and opening remarks
10:00 – The Data Centre in 2026 and Beyond
As AI sovereignty becomes a critical enterprise mandate, the macroeconomic reality of building and running infrastructure has fundamentally changed. The era of “waiting out” hardware constraints is over; massive global compute demand, surging semiconductor premiums, and severe power grid limitations will keep driving up costs. Crucially, this pricing pressure is no longer confined to private data center builds—it is impacting the public cloud world as well, as providers pass the immense costs of structural supply constraints and infrastructure scaling directly onto consumers. By understanding current market shocks and physical constraints, we will decode what the future of infrastructure will look like.
11:00 – Data Sovereignty, Governance and Financial Risk
As AI adoption accelerates, data sovereignty is becoming a strategic board-level issue. It is no longer only about data location, but about governance, compliance, control and exposure to operational and financial risk. An industry analyst will share what leaders need to understand as regulations tighten and expectations increase.
11:50 – Coffee Break
12:00 – Dell’s Approach to Modern Infrastructure Strategy
How Dell is helping organisations modernise infrastructure with secure, resilient platforms that support business-critical applications, strengthen governance, and enable more confident investment decisions.
12:45 – What Does This Mean for Your Environment?
A facilitated executive discussion with Dell specialists and Natilik – an opportunity to explore your own priorities, challenges and next steps in the context of today’s infrastructure realities.
13:00 – Lunch & Informal Discussion
A hosted lunch to continue the conversation with the Dell and Natilik teams before the session closes at 14:00.
