DCD>Connect Virginia 2026 takes place on 3–4 November 2026 in Leesburg, VA, USA, organised by DatacenterDynamics (DCD). DCD's largest North American gathering for the cloud and colocation ecosystem at Lansdowne Resort, focused on hyperscale data centre development, power procurement and grid impact in Northern Virginia (the world's largest data centre market).
Why it matters for grid operators
Northern Virginia is the world's largest data centre market, and the grid impact of hyperscale development there is a preview of what several European regions will face. DCD>Connect Virginia is where developers, utilities and regulators discuss power procurement, interconnection and grid constraints. We follow it because the flexible-connection and hosting-capacity questions raised there are exactly the ones European regulation is now forcing onto DSOs.
