As demand for AI and cloud infrastructure accelerates, the industry is entering a period of reassessment. Operators, investors, and ecosystem partners are reevaluating how infrastructure is designed, powered, and deployed to support the next phase of growth.

The upcoming infra/STRUCTURE Summit 2026, hosted by Structure Research, will take place October 6–8 in Las Vegas, bringing together more than 600 senior executives across hyperscale, data center, cloud, edge, and AI infrastructure. Now in its seventh year, the event continues to serve as a vendor-neutral forum for industry leaders to connect and exchange insights.

This year’s theme, “Interlude,” reflects a moment of transition across the digital infrastructure landscape. As AI workloads scale and demand intensifies, organizations are recalibrating strategies around power availability, deployment models, connectivity, and capital allocation. The summit will focus on how this shift is influencing the next phase of infrastructure development.

“infra/STRUCTURE continues to serve as a critical platform for understanding where the infrastructure market is today—and where it’s going next,” said Philbert Shih, founder and managing director of Structure Research. “The theme ‘Interlude’ captures the importance of this moment as the industry recalibrates to support the next wave of AI and cloud demand.”

The 2026 program will include a dedicated day for hyperscale and neocloud-focused 1:1 meetings, followed by two days of curated content and executive panels. Discussions will center on AI infrastructure scaling, modular deployment strategies, and the continued evolution of cloud platforms.

In parallel, Structure Research has released its updated 2026 NeoCloud Report, offering analysis on emerging cloud models and the growing influence of neocloud providers on infrastructure demand.

The summit is supported by a range of sponsors across the digital infrastructure ecosystem, including Duos Edge AI and Foresight, reinforcing its role as a key industry gathering point.

Early bird registration is open through April 30.
