“For those of you who were not able to make the recent Data Centres Ireland event in Dublin this year you definitely missed an industry highlight. The event this year was unquestionably the biggest, best attended and most energetic to date, with an informative and engaging speaking programme led by information and education rather than the typical sales pitches so common at other industry events. The Data Centres Ireland event is undoubtedly the most important and best established data centre focussed event in Ireland and the 2018 event should already be in the calendar of anybody with an interest in the Irish data Centre sector. Well done to Hugh and the Stepex team for putting on such a successful and important event.” – Mark Acton Head of Data Centre Technical Consulting CBRE Data Centre Solutions
