Keynote announced: The next phase of data center investment and growth

Chris Moon, Managing Director, DigitalBridgeSpeaker

Chris Moon is a Managing Director at DigitalBridge Credit, leading global origination with over 25 years of experience in digital infrastructure financing. He has originated more than $10 billion in leveraged loans, high-yield bonds, and private placements across telecom and technology, with previous roles at ING Barings, Goldman Sachs, and PwC.

New for 2026: Introducing our dual-format experience

Two sessions. Pick yours. Own your experience.

Power is now the defining constraint on hyperscale and AI growth. Grid congestion and capacity demands have shifted the bottleneck from capital to power and investors are recalibrating.

To address this, we’re introducing Data Centers Power Capital, running alongside the main Data Centers Private Equity West program. It’s a dedicated in‑person forum on how private and public capital are reshaping the power infrastructure behind next‑generation data center development.
