Network Calendar
No one understands the demands and challenges of running a high-reliability data center quite like the people who do it every day.
Uptime Network is the premiere community of end-user professionals responsible for the development, management, and operation of data center infrastructure and systems.
Members of Uptime Network receive exclusive access to dozens of resources and events throughout the year from in-depth intelligence notes and reports, to virtual events including roundtable discussions and briefings to flagship conferences that bring together members twice a year in their own region for an in-person multi-day knowledge sharing and networking event.

Tabletop Tactics: Stress-Testing Your Response Before the Real Thing
How confident are you that your team would respond effectively to a major incident, not just technically, but across communications, roles, and decision-making? Tabletop exercises offer a low-risk, high-impact way to simulate failures, test protocols, and uncover weak spots in your crisis response.
In this roundtable, Network members will share how they structure and run tabletop scenarios for events like utility loss, fire suppression discharge, cyber incidents, and human error. Bring your own examples, questions, and lessons learned. Whether you're running regular drills or haven't done one yet, this is your chance to compare approaches with your peers and improve your readiness.

Behind the Numbers: Member Reactions to the 2025 Outages Report
Each year, Uptime Institute publishes its analysis of publicly reported and privately shared data center outages, identifying patterns, root causes, and trends that signal where the industry is headed. But how do those findings align with your on-the-ground experience?
This interactive roundtable gives members the opportunity to weigh in: Do the top causes resonate with your site’s pain points? Are the trends consistent with what you're seeing in incident reports, RCAs, or boardroom concerns? Are we missing anything critical?
We’ll walk through this year’s key findings, then open the floor for a collaborative discussion on what’s happening behind the numbers. Share your takeaways, push back on the analysis, and help shape the next phase of Uptime’s research and member insights.

Closing the Gaps: Reducing Bypass Airflow
Bypass airflow (the cooling that misses IT equipment entirely) is one of the most common and costly sources of inefficiency in data centers. Left unchecked, it undermines cooling effectiveness, wastes energy, and reduces the headroom available for high-density workloads.
In this technical tutorial, we’ll break down how to identify, measure, and minimize bypass airflow using proven strategies. From blanking panels and raised-floor sealing to containment best practices and airflow balancing, this session will provide practical steps you can take — whether you're tuning a legacy site or supporting new deployments.
Bring your questions and your real-world challenges. We’ll walk through the steps to help you close the gaps and boost the performance of your cooling.

Colocation Relationship Management & Transparency
As enterprise IT teams lean more heavily on colocation providers, the relationship between tenant and operator becomes increasingly strategic — and at times, increasingly strained. From access restrictions and opaque maintenance practices to gaps in operational data sharing, many enterprises struggle to get the visibility and responsiveness they need to meet their own internal standards.
In this leadership session, Uptime staff will share global insights from recent assessments, highlighting common enterprise frustrations and operational disconnects in colo-managed environments. We also invite colo operator members to respond: What constraints are they navigating? Why do certain limitations exist? What changes are possible, and which may require new models of collaboration?
This is a forum for both sides of the relationship to share real-world experiences, identify common ground, and surface constructive ideas. We’ll explore how to make colocation partnerships more effective, transparent, and resilient, and what shared accountability looks like in today’s hybrid world.
