Why the industry needs a cross-disciplinary professional community.
Digital infrastructure is the result of many specialized fields working together. The conversations that move the industry forward rarely happen inside any single discipline.
Education-first programming
Practitioner-led briefings, assemblies, and convenings built around the real challenges of building and operating infrastructure.
A cross-disciplinary community
A professional network that treats power, fiber, capital, development, and operations as equally important parts of one ecosystem.
Independent and practitioner-led
Programming is independent. Sponsors may support sessions but do not control editorial content or guarantee speaking opportunities.
Midmarket focus
The Missing Middle initiative advances independent and midsize projects, including the 10 to 40 MW segment and projects under 100 MW.
Practitioner-led conversations with the people shaping digital infrastructure.

Learn moreThe Missing Middle.
Independent and midsize data center projects face a distinct set of development, investment, power, fiber, permitting, and operating challenges. The Missing Middle is the Society's flagship program for the 10 to 40 MW segment and projects under 100 MW.
It is a flagship program, not a restriction on who can join the Society. Grid power, behind-the-meter generation, fiber, capital, development, and operations are all equally important to this work.
