Celebrating excellence in digital infrastructure!
The 2026 Datacloud Awards return to the iconic red carpet at Le Palais des Festivals, this year unveiled with a bold new look and an elevated, immersive Casino Royale night experience.
Step inside a world of high glamour and high stakes, where the thrill of the tables meets the prestige of the industry’s most anticipated celebration. We honour the data centre operators, cloud providers, vendors, software innovators, and M&A advisors shaping the future of digital infrastructure.
Expect an experience that fuses the iconic red‑carpet allure of Cannes with the high‑end intrigue of a Riviera casino. You won’t want to miss this!
Who Attends the Datacloud Awards?
The Datacloud Awards are the industry’s most respected celebration of excellence in digital infrastructure, bringing together senior leaders from top data centre operators, hyperscalers, investors, technology providers and advisors, the very people you’ll meet and connect with at the event.
With a carefully curated audience, the focus is as much on who attends as what is recognised, creating a setting where relationships are strengthened, new connections are made, and collaboration opportunities arise.
