Ready to advance a growing industry that provides essential digital infrastructure?

The Data Center Coalition (DCC) is the membership association for the data center industry, empowering and championing the data center community through public policy advocacy, thought leadership, stakeholder outreach, and community engagement.

Data centers are the backbone of the modern economy, and our members are investing tens of billions of dollars in capital in new data center facilities across the country to meet unprecedented demand for the digital services that have become increasingly central to Americans’ daily routines and how we live. The way we work, learn, buy groceries, bank, and even access medical care now occurs online. Data centers make this possible by enabling the apps, platforms, and services we increasingly rely on every day to keep us connected in our modern digital lives.

DCC represents and advances the interests of the data center industry by aggregating industry expertise and thought leadership, partnering with policymakers and other collaborators, and supporting communities where data center teams live and work through active engagement.
