Join Edmonton Global and BOMA Edmonton and North for an exclusive event exploring the economic opportunities that data centres present for the Edmonton Region and Northern Alberta. As demand for digital infrastructure grows, data centres are becoming a crucial driver of economic development, investment, and job creation.

We are excited to welcome Buddy Rizer as our keynote speaker for this exciting event. Buddy is Executive Director for Economic Development in Loudoun County, Virginia—home to "Data Center Alley", the largest concentration of data centres in the world. Under Buddy's leadership, Loudoun County has attracted more than $65 billion in commercial investment and 55,000+ new jobs, dramatically expanding its economy while lowering tax burdens for residents. His insights on fostering a thriving data centre ecosystem will provide valuable lessons for our region.

Following Buddy's keynote, a panel of industry leaders and experts will discuss the opportunities and challenges of growing the data centre sector in the Edmonton Region.

This event is a must-attend for business leaders, policymakers, real estate professionals, and anyone interested in the future of digital infrastructure and economic growth in the region.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights from one of the world's leading experts on data centre development and participate in a conversation about the future of our region's economy.
