infra/STRUCTURE Summit to Explore the Future of Digital Infrastructure
Digital transformation isn’t slowing down, and neither is the infra/STRUCTURE Summit. Returning to the iconic Wynn Las Vegas on 15–16 October 2025, the sixth annual infra/STRUCTURE Summit is poised to be the most impactful yet. Hosted by Structure Research, this vendor-neutral gathering draws the crème de la crème of the digital infrastructure industry — think data centres, cloud, hyperscale, edge, AI infrastructure and colocation — for two days of serious strategy, insight-sharing, and high-octane networking.
With the fitting theme of ‘Concurrence’, the 2025 edition underscores the remarkable convergence, parallel growth, and simultaneous disruption shaking up the infrastructure space. From AI-driven workloads to sustainable colocation models, the sector is evolving in all directions at once, demanding sharper collaboration and bold, strategic moves.
Philbert Shih, Managing Director at Structure Research, captured the essence of the event best: “infra/STRUCTURE is formulated to be more than a conference: it’s a platform for change and strategic alignment across the global digital infrastructure industry.”
