About our Events
Across all our events, our ethos remains consistent: a content-first approach built around expertly curated programmes that deliver genuine insight.
Platform Markets Group hosted its first event in September 2022, welcoming 200 attendees to the beautiful French Riviera town of Antibes. It was immediately clear that we had created a winning formula - built on quality content, quality attendees, and quality networking.
Our flagship event, Platform Global, now attracts more than 700 senior leaders in digital infrastructure and has become a must-attend gathering for key stakeholders across the sector - particularly those seeking their next data centre or digital infrastructure deal.
Driven by client demand, we have since expanded to host three additional events under two brands - Platform UK and Platform Frontier Markets - the latter split into two regional events covering Central & Eastern Europe and Africa & the Middle East.
Across all our events, our ethos remains consistent: a content-first approach built around expertly curated programmes that deliver genuine insight.
Quality content
Each programme is carefully researched and developed over many months. We do not sell stage time or allow sales pitches - every session and speaker must bring relevant, senior-level, non-commercial insight to the audience. Our team brings together over 100 years of combined experience in digital infrastructure and content production. This depth of expertise ensures that we stay ahead of industry trends and consistently deliver forward-looking, valuable discussion. Unlike other industry events, we focus on a single stream of expert content at each conference. This approach allows us to maintain clarity, focus, and depth, offering attendees the most innovative topics and speakers without diluting the programme or fragmenting the audience.
Quality attendees
Our content-driven model attracts a high-calibre audience of senior leaders from across the global digital infrastructure ecosystem - including investors, operators, advisors, and service providers. Around 70% of our delegates are C-suite executives, with the remaining 30% made up of senior directors, consultants, and investors. We are frequently praised for bringing together the right people in the right environment - enabling meaningful dialogue, strategic learning, and real business opportunities.
Quality networking
Bringing the right people together naturally creates exceptional networking opportunities, but we go further to curate experiences that foster genuine connections. From ice-breaker receptions and networking lunches to beach parties and champagne evenings, we design every event to ensure that attendees have multiple opportunities to build lasting relationships with the people who matter most to their business. We understand that networking is where deals are made - and we never compromise on creating the right atmosphere for that to happen.
Why Attend
We prefer to think of our events as experiences rather than conferences. They are where the digital infrastructure industry meets to move the market forward. Each Platform event is designed for senior decision-makers across the data centre and digital infrastructure ecosystem. Developed for professionals who value exceptional content and the potential for actual deal making, our events are unique in this space.
Content that leads the industry
We don’t follow trends we help define them. Every agenda is carefully curated by experts who live and breathe digital infrastructure. Our programmes are built on months of research, consultation, and engagement with investors, developers, operators, and policymakers. Attendees come away with real-world insight into the forces shaping the market: from AI and energy strategy to planning reform, sustainability, M&A, and capital flows.
Access to senior decision makers
You’ll find the people shaping the future of data centres at Platform Markets Group events. Attracting CxOs, investors, developers, and strategic advisors from across the world, and with around 70% of delegates at executive level, every conversation is an opportunity to learn, partner, or make a deal. Platform events are recognised across the industry as the most senior, relevant, and relationship-focused gatherings in the calendar.
Networking that builds business
We understand that business doesn’t just happen in meeting rooms. That’s why our events include exceptional networking experiences designed to make introductions easy and conversations natural. From relaxed opening receptions and private lunches to memorable social events, we create the atmosphere for authentic connection and strategic dealmaking. You’ll leave with partnerships that move your projects forward.
Global perspective, local focus
Whether it’s Platform Global, Platform UK, or Platform Frontier Markets, our events deliver a panoramic view of digital infrastructure investment while drilling down into the regional realities that define opportunity and risk. Each event offers a unique mix of international capital, local expertise, and future-focused insight giving you a clear view of where growth and innovation are happening next.
Experience you can trust
Behind every Platform event is a team with over 100 years of combined experience in producing digital infrastructure conferences. We’ve built our reputation on quality, trust, and depth of understanding and we’re proud that our community continues to grow through recommendation and word of mouth.
