The growing energy consumption of modern data centers is driving demand for high-performance, efficient, and sustainable solutions. With the new AI & Data Centers Stage, the trade fair is placing special emphasis on two of the most relevant future trends in power electronics. This space will bring together expert presentations and best practices on the increasing influence of artificial intelligence and the energy needs of data centers.
“The AI & Data Centers Stage is our first step in offering a central platform for advanced knowledge and inspiration in artificial intelligence. Visitors will be able to learn about the latest developments, from AI-driven design and monitoring to innovative energy management and power systems for data centers,” explains Lisette Hausser, Vice President of PCIM at Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH.
The program will include the topics “AI for power electronics” and “Power electronics for data centers”, with a total of 40 presentations.
AI also takes center stage at the PCIM conference.
The conference will include a keynote address and special sessions:
June 10, 2026:
Keynote: “AI Meets Power Electronics: Are we there yet?” – Uwe Drofenik (Vienna University of Technology)
