PORTLAND, Ore., April 13, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- If you are active in the data center industry or looking to become more active, you will not want to miss The Greater Portland Data Center Summit.

The Greater Portland Data Center Summit will feature 13 hours of combined informational panels and networking. Participating end-users will represent the leading financial institutions and most active firms. More than 600 senior-level data center real estate and technology infrastructure executives have attended CAPRE's Greater Seattle & Pacific Northwest Data Center Summit over the last two years.

"We are delighted to continue the data center conversation in the major U.S. markets, and now internationally," said Brian Klebash, President & Founder of CAPRE. "The series is well known in the data center industry for its strong regional programs that offer compelling content, productive networking and data center tours."

CAPRE's data center summits bring together the most active and innovative data center developers, investors, capital sources, end-users, engineering firms, consultants and public sector executives. The programs offer in-depth information and powerful networking opportunities.

Expert speakers will discuss trends, patterns, opportunities and challenges, including:

• What are the implications of new consolidators emerging in the data center arena?
• What types of industry changes might we expect in 2017?
• How will political changes around the globe impact the data center industry in 2017?
• What are the new innovations relative to connectivity and data center design?
• What is the global outlook in 2017 for data center investment and development?
• Why is there such a huge valuation differential between the "haves" and "have nots" – i.e., scale, cash flow, strategic relevance?

"Great conference, good attendance – the right people. Thanks for the invite. I look forward to doing it again in the future." — Frank X. Lukas, Ph.D., Global Chief Technology Officer, Devonshire Investors International
