Known as “The People’s Conference,” DCAC Europe has become one of the most respected operator and builder-focused gatherings in the data center industry. The event brings together owners, operators, engineers, contractors, and delivery leaders for candid discussions around the realities of building critical infrastructure at scale.

Unlike larger corporate trade shows, DCAC Europe is intentionally designed around community, practical conversations, and operational insight. The event consistently attracts the people directly responsible for solving some of the industry’s most challenging problems.

DCAC is Challenging Data Center Misconceptions 

“We are in the middle of the fastest industrial shift in human history — the 5th Industrial Revolution. AI, compute, power, labor, land, capital, and community trust are colliding in real time, yet the world still fundamentally misunderstands the sector making it all possible.

Data centers are not background infrastructure. They are the front line of the AI era. That disconnect is no longer just frustrating. It is actively dangerous.

Misconceptions around our industry are slowing workforce development, delaying policy clarity, impacting community trust, and creating friction across project execution and capital deployment. This year, DCAC is focused on confronting that narrative head-on.” - DCAC Team

Why Doxel Returns to DCAC Europe

DCAC Europe brings together the people responsible for building and operating some of the world’s most complex data center projects.

That is why Doxel continues to attend year after year.

The event creates valuable opportunities to connect directly with teams focused on improving construction performance, increasing schedule certainty, reducing risk, and delivering projects faster with greater predictability.

Doxel helps owners and contractors gain objective visibility and actionable insights into construction progress through AI-powered progress tracking. By comparing field conditions against BIM models and schedules, teams can identify risk earlier, improve coordination across trades, and make faster, more informed decisions.

Instead of relying on subjective updates or delayed reporting, project teams gain measurable visibility into actual production progress across the jobsite. This allows teams to understand what is truly complete, what is falling behind plan, and where intervention may be needed before delays compound.

On major projects, Doxel has helped teams move beyond subjective “rule of thumb” tracking toward objective production benchmarking and real-time operational insight.

This level of visibility becomes increasingly important on fast-moving data center projects where even small coordination issues can create cascading schedule impacts across multiple trades and work areas.

Meet Doxel at DCAC Europe

Representing Doxel at the event includes Faiz Alidina, Director of Sales, EMEA, Ken Denning, David Brody, Hamza Abukar, and Dom Pound-Palmieri.

Doxel will also participate in the networking and community events surrounding DCAC Europe, including the DCAC Charity Golf event on June 23 at Sudbury Golf Club.

Held at the iconic Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, Datacloud Cannes brings together hyperscalers, developers, investors, operators, and construction leaders shaping the future of AI infrastructure and digital capacity expansion.

With more than 6,000 attendees expected, this year’s event arrives at a critical moment for the industry. AI demand continues to accelerate the construction of data centers globally, while labor shortages, power constraints, and schedule pressures continue to intensify.

As a Silver Sponsor, Doxel will be exhibiting at Booth #317 with full EMEA sales, product, and customer coverage on site, including participation in the event’s pre-conference cycling activities.

Why Datacloud Cannes Matters

The conversations at DGC align directly with the challenges Doxel helps solve every day on large-scale projects.

Across the industry, owners and builders face mounting pressure to deliver complex facilities faster while maintaining quality and reducing risk. At the same time, construction productivity continues to lag behind other industries despite increasing project complexity and demand. For data center teams building hyperscale campuses and AI infrastructure, delays and missed coordination windows can quickly create cascading schedule impacts.

That is why objective, real-time construction visibility has become increasingly important.

Bringing Objective Progress Tracking to Data Center Construction

Throughout Cannes, Doxel will showcase how leading owners and contractors are using AI-powered progress tracking to improve schedule certainty, benchmark production, and reduce costly surprises in the field.

Doxel automatically captures and analyzes site progress against BIM models and schedules, giving teams real-time visibility into what is actually happening on site. The platform eliminates the delays and inconsistencies that come from manual reporting and subjective progress tracking.

Doxel helps teams:

• Track construction progress objectively across all visible trades
• Detect schedule risk before delays compound
• Improve coordination between field teams and leadership
• Benchmark production rates across projects
• Reduce rework and improve accountability
• Deliver projects faster with greater confidence

On major projects, Doxel has helped teams move beyond “rule of thumb” project management by introducing objective production benchmarking and real-time performance insights. DPR Construction used Doxel to improve benchmarking consistency and increase confidence in decision-making across projects.

As owners demand greater predictability and transparency across capital programs, Doxel gives teams what traditional reporting systems often cannot: a live operational view of project execution.

Doxel’s Digital Billboard Campaign in Cannes

To support our efforts at Datacloud Cannes, we are launching a digital billboard campaign across key areas surrounding the Palais des Festivals and La Croisette.

The campaign reinforces a core message increasingly resonating across the data center market:

You cannot accelerate delivery without objective visibility into production.

The creative highlights our ability to help owners and builders deliver construction faster through automated progress tracking, real-time production insights, and proactive risk detection.

The campaign also reflects a broader shift happening across construction. Owners are beginning to manage construction investments with the same operational rigor applied across the rest of their business.  

Meet Team Doxel at Booth #317

Attendees can meet with our team throughout the event to discuss how AI-powered construction analytics are helping data center teams improve execution certainty at scale.

If you are attending Datacloud Cannes 2026, stop by Booth #317 to see how we’re helping teams deliver complex projects with greater speed, visibility, and confidence.

Doxel is heading to on June 9–11 at the Grand Hyatt Bali to participate in DCD>Connect APAC 2026

As AI infrastructure demand accelerates across Asia-Pacific, developers, operators, and construction teams are under increasing pressure to deliver capacity faster while managing growing project complexity.

APAC has quickly become one of the world’s most active regions for data center expansion. Markets across Southeast Asia, Australia, and India continue to see rapid investment from hyperscalers, colocation providers, and digital infrastructure firms racing to support AI workloads and cloud growth.

At the same time, the challenges facing project teams continue to intensify.

Data center facilities are becoming larger, denser, and more complex. Regional supply chains remain fragmented. Skilled labor availability varies significantly by market. Power constraints and permitting pressures are increasing in key hubs. Teams are being asked to build faster than ever before while maintaining certainty around schedule, quality, and coordination.

Industry research from McKinsey & Company shows that global construction productivity has remained largely stagnant for decades despite increasing project complexity and demand. The report notes that productivity in construction improved only 0.4% annually between 2000 and 2022 while labor shortages continue to worsen across major markets.

That challenge is becoming increasingly visible across APAC data center construction.

Why DCD>Connect APAC Matters

DCD>Connect APAC brings together many of the operators, developers, contractors, and infrastructure leaders shaping the future of AI and digital infrastructure across the region.

Unlike more mature markets where expansion is often constrained by existing infrastructure limitations, APAC remains heavily growth-focused. New facilities are being delivered across multiple countries simultaneously, often with compressed schedules and evolving delivery models.

This year’s event focuses heavily on the future of next-generation AI infrastructure, modular delivery strategies, localization approaches, and the operational realities of scaling hyperscale infrastructure across APAC.

For Doxel, these conversations align directly with the challenges teams are facing in the field today.

Helping Teams Deliver Faster With Greater Visibility

Doxel helps owners and construction teams improve visibility, coordination, and delivery performance across complex capital projects through automated progress tracking and AI-powered construction analytics.

Doxel enables teams to:

• Objectively track installed work against the plan

Meet Doxel at DCD>Connect APAC

Doxel’s APAC Client Manager, Sridhar Rengasamy, will be attending throughout the event and meeting with owners, operators, developers, and delivery teams across the region.

Sridhar has worked on large-scale infrastructure and capital projects across Southeast Asia totaling up to $550M in value, partnering closely with contractors and consultants to improve coordination, strengthen execution, and mitigate delivery risk across complex multi-stakeholder environments.

If you’re attending and want to discuss live or upcoming APAC projects, connect with the Doxel team during the event. To schedule a meeting, please reach out to Sridhar on LinkedIn.

The Data Center Investment Conference and Expo (DICE): National brings together owners, operators, and builders at a time when data center demand continues to rise while the available workforce remains constrained.

Industry research shows that construction productivity has improved only modestly over the past two decades, even as project complexity has increased and labor availability has tightened. For teams delivering large-scale data center projects, this creates pressure on schedules, coordination, and overall execution.

Doxel is excited to attend DICE National, joining industry leaders as they share how teams are approaching these challenges in real project environments.

The panel includes perspectives from owners and operators who are directly responsible for delivering complex infrastructure programs.

Key Session Discussion Points

The discussion will focus on how organizations are adapting to workforce constraints while maintaining delivery timelines and quality standards. Key topics include:

• Managing skilled labor shortages across fast-paced project environments
• Addressing gaps in workforce experience and training
• Improving coordination across trades and project teams
• Evaluating how current planning and reporting methods perform under pressure

These challenges are not isolated to hiring. They affect how projects are planned, tracked, and executed from day one.

Doxel’s Perspective on Workforce and Execution

Doxel approaches workforce constraints as an execution and visibility challenge. When labor availability is limited, improving how work is tracked and managed becomes critical.

Doxel provides:

• Objective, automated progress tracking across trades
• Actionable insights that support faster decision-making
• A consistent view of actual field conditions compared to plan

On data center projects with partners such as DPR Construction, this approach has supported a shift toward more consistent, data-driven benchmarking and improved confidence in project decision-making.

Reducing Risk + Rework with Data Center Project Delivery

Data center projects require precise coordination, tight schedules, and rigorous quality control. Workforce limitations increase the risk of delays, rework, and misalignment between teams.

Improving visibility into project progress allows teams to:

• Identify issues earlier in the construction process
• Adjust sequencing and resource allocation more effectively
• Maintain alignment between field activity and project schedules

This level of visibility helps teams maintain performance even when labor conditions are challenging.

Join the Conversation

This session will provide practical insights from industry leaders managing workforce constraints on active projects.

For owners, developers, and contractors involved in data center construction, it offers a clear view into how execution strategies are evolving.

👉 Event details

The pace of data center construction has changed.

Schedules are tighter. Labor is harder to find. And the tolerance for error is almost zero. Owners and builders are being asked to deliver faster than ever, often on projects where even a small delay can cascade into millions in lost revenue.

That’s exactly why Doxel is heading to the DICE Pacific Northwest Data Center Investment Conference & Expo.

This event brings together the investors, developers, contractors, and technology leaders shaping the next generation of digital infrastructure. And this year, one topic is rising above the rest: How do you build faster without losing control?

Why This Conversation Matters Now

The demand for data centers continues to surge, but the industry’s ability to deliver them has not kept pace.

Global construction productivity has barely moved over the last two decades, increasing just 0.4% annually, even as project complexity has grown dramatically

At the same time:

• Labor shortages continue to constrain output
• Projects are becoming more complex and interdependent
• The cost of delays is rising, especially in mission-critical environments like data centers

The result is a widening gap between what needs to be built and what can be delivered.

To close that gap, leading teams are rethinking how projects are executed. They are combining modular construction strategies with real-time, objective visibility into progress.

Featured Session: Speed Meets Precision

Speaker: John Rewolinski, PSP, Head of Scheduling Analytics, Doxel

Session Title: Speed Meets Precision: How Modular Delivery and Construction Tech Are Redefining Data Center Execution

This session focuses on a simple but critical challenge: Speed alone is not enough. Precision is what keeps speed from turning into rework.

‍

Attendees will learn:

• How modular delivery accelerates schedules while introducing new coordination risks
• Why traditional schedule tracking fails on fast-moving, high-density builds
• How leading teams use AI-driven progress tracking to validate work in place
• What it takes to align BIM, schedule, and field conditions in real time

The Problem With Traditional Progress Tracking

Most construction teams still rely on a familiar process:

• Walk the site
• Ask trade partners for updates
• Compare notes against the schedule

The issue is not effort. It’s timing. By the time a deviation shows up in a report, it’s often weeks old. On a data center project, that delay can mean:

• Missed handoffs between trades
• Out-of-sequence work
• Rework that compounds across systems

Doxel changes that dynamic by delivering objective, automated progress tracking that compares actual site conditions directly to the BIM model and schedule.

Instead of asking what’s happening, teams can see it.

What Doxel Brings to Data Center Construction

Doxel was built for complex, fast-paced projects where precision matters.

With Doxel, teams can:

• Track progress automatically across all visible trades and construction stages
• Detect deviations early, before they impact downstream work
• Align teams around objective data, reducing disputes and guesswork
• Make faster decisions with real-time, visual insights

This approach eliminates manual reporting gaps and gives teams a consistent, accurate view of the jobsite

The impact is clear:

• Earlier risk detection
• Fewer surprises
• More predictable outcomes

Deliver Faster. With Confidence.

Construction is not getting simpler. But it is becoming more measurable.

With the right combination of modular delivery, AI-driven insights, and objective progress tracking, teams can finally deliver projects at the speed the market demands without sacrificing quality or control.

Doxel is helping lead that shift. See Doxel today.

A Disagreement That Turned Into a Discovery

Doxel's system was designed to track progress, but on a hyperscale data center project with DPR Construction, it caught something that no daily report, RFI, or schedule update had flagged, and the lesson that came out of it changed how the team interpreted data discrepancies entirely.

The story starts with a flag. Doxel's AI detected uninstalled security components near certain doors. The electrical trade partner pushed back hard, claiming they had roughed in all the security to those doors. In their estimation, the work was done. 

After further investigation, the team found the truth: the security boxes had been installed. Three feet to the right of where they were supposed to be.

Wrong Location. Not Flagged Anywhere.

The components had been physically installed, but they were mislocated relative to the BIM. When comparing the 360° site photos against the model, Doxel’s AI correctly identified them as not installed in the designated location.

"If something's showing as not installed and the trade partner says it's installed, we probably have a quality control problem. Not the intended use case — but awesome to see."
‍— Mike Miller, Superintendent, DPR Construction

The team had stumbled onto a new interpretive principle. When Doxel flags something as missing and the trade says it's done, don't default to assuming the data is wrong. Investigate. The discrepancy might not be a tracking error; it might be a quality flag.

The Cost of Dismissing the Signal

Mike was direct about what happened next and what it cost. Rework followed.  But by investigating when they did, the team headed off even higher costs than if the issue had been found later. 

REWORK WARNING:  Dismissing data because it contradicts expectation is how quality issues get buried. The cost of investigation is almost always lower than the cost of rework — especially once walls are closed.

This is not an abstract lean principle. It played out on a real job, on real infrastructure, with real rework costs. The lesson is practical: when scan data and field reports disagree, treat the disagreement as information, not noise.

What This Means for Quality Management on Complex Projects

Construction quality management has traditionally relied on scheduled inspections, trade self-reporting, and periodic walkthroughs. These methods work reasonably well for obvious defects. They are poor at catching components that are physically present, but are installed in the wrong place relative to the design.

Computer vision can fill this gap by comparing what is physically present against the BIM at the component level across all visible trades every week. Mislocations look identical to missing components from the system's perspective, because in both cases, the component is not where it should be.

The practical recommendation from Mike's experience is to establish a protocol for investigating discrepancies rather than defaulting to dismissal. When a trade reports complete and the system reports incomplete, send someone to review the discrepancy. It only takes minutes, but it can prevent weeks of rework.

Beyond Rework: The Documentation Value

There is a secondary benefit this story highlights: objective, time-stamped documentation of installation location for every component. On a complex facility like a data center, where systems are dense, and modifications may be needed years later, having a record of where things were actually installed, not just where they were designed to go, has ongoing operational value.

This use case wasn't in the sales deck. It emerged from a real disagreement on a real job. That's often how the most durable capabilities get discovered.
