Melbourne Cloud and Datacenter Convention

The return of the W.Media Convention to Melbourne on April 3rd 2025 takes place as the city achieves recognition as a growing leader in digital infrastructure. Equinix recently described Melbourne as the fastest growing ‘edge metro’ in the world and analysis from DCByte indicates a substantial forward programme of build which could see capacity across the metro area move over the next few years towards 1 GW.

Our Convention for Melbourne in 2025 will focus on the key factors and requirements that are driving enterprise demand and which will drive growth and direction in future demand for digital infrastructure. The emergence of AI and digital technologies will be considered particularly in terms of the profile of different user profiles and requirements.  The decisions made on the basis of  ‘sustainability’ will also be discussed and broadened to include the issues of how far corporate brand objectives drive technology decisions and the value of achieving an overall industry identity locally and beyond. Other impact factors from both inside and outside the industry each command their own discussion  – hyperscale, legislation, risk and security, connectivity needs.
