Enterprise Connect 2026 Schedule

Every enterprise is grappling with its IT architecture strategy, and at the heart of that strategy is the hottest topic in IT today: The datacenter. Cost, application performance, AI decisions, data residency, and a host of other issues hinge on the choices your enterprise makes about what to deploy on premises, in enterprise datacenters, or in single- and multi-tenant clouds. To make the best decisions and execute them effectively, you need IT, facilities, and datacenter teams to be on the same page. This session will help you get there, as it features a conversation between the president of the Arizona chapter of AFCOM, the data center industry’s leading and longest-standing professional association, and a thought leader from the IT/collaboration/CX industry. They’ll discuss ways for the diverse organizations to come together, and how you can help translate and facilitate the conversations your enterprise needs to be having.

You’ll come away with the broader perspective you need to understand how decisions about the datacenter impact the services you deliver – and vice versa.
