NAIOP Data Center Tour
Wednesday, October 29, 2025
Program
Rarely a day goes by when the topic of data centers and their impact is not discussed in the media, at a local government meeting, or among friends and co-workers. NAIOP Northern Virginia has designed our 2025 Bus Tour to explore this facet of our industry.
During the morning programming, you will hear from industry experts who will provide up-to-date information on such topics as utility issues, design and construction, the continuing evolution of data centers, and future demands.
Following the panel discussions, we'll board the buses for a tour of western Prince William County. Our Bus Captains will not only talk about the county's booming data center community, they will also focus on other key components driving Prince William's economy. Along the route, each bus will visit a data center for an on-site visit. Please join us, for this half day tour on October 29.
