Vietnam is emerging as a strategic hub for data centres, digital infrastructure, cloud computing, AI-powered technologies, and enterprise digital transformation. On December 18, 2026, the country will host the World Data Centre Summit 2026 at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Ho Chi Minh City, in an event organized by TraiCon Events.

Held under the theme “Empowering South Asia’s Digital Future: Vietnam at the Core of Datacentre Innovation,” the summit is set to convene data centre leaders, government representatives, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, CDOs, technology innovators, investors, infrastructure experts, and business decision-makers to examine the future of Vietnam’s digital infrastructure.

The program will cover a broad range of topics, including data centre infrastructure, AI-ready data centres, cloud computing, edge computing, cybersecurity, data protection, energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainability, digital infrastructure, hyperscale facilities, connectivity, automation, and next-generation computing technologies. That combination mirrors the operational questions now central to data centre planning: powering and cooling dense computing loads, securing infrastructure, and expanding capacity through cloud, edge, and hyperscale deployments.

Organizers describe the event as more than a data centre conference, positioning it as a platform for industry leaders, policymakers, infrastructure experts, technology innovators, and investors to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and help shape the future of Vietnam’s digital infrastructure and its growing role in Southeast Asia’s digital ecosystem.

Networking and Collaboration

Participants will include leading CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, CDOs, data centre leaders, IT infrastructure heads, cloud leaders, cybersecurity professionals, government authorities, investors, and digital transformation executives.
