Opening Ceremony
09:00 – 09:20
AI Nation 2030: Turning National Ambition into Deployable Compute
- Why the National AI Action Plan 2026–2030 hinges on sovereign compute capacity – and what that means for the pace of datacentre approvals
- How the Ministry of Digital and MDEC are aligning policy, incentives and investor facilitation into a single national pipeline
- What Malaysia must deliver over the next five years to hold its position as ASEAN’s hyperscale and AI infrastructure hub
09:20 – 09:40
Sovereignty by Design: Putting the National Cloud Computing Policy to Work
- How the National Cloud Computing Policy is reshaping data residency, interoperability and sovereign capacity requirements
- What the Data Sharing Act 2025 changes for cross-agency data flows – and the infrastructure it quietly demands
- Why PDPA obligations are now an architecture decision rather than a compliance afterthought
09:40 – 10:00
Closer to the Customer: Edge Infrastructure for Latency-Critical Services
- Where edge nodes outperform central campuses – from manufacturing lines to real-time payments
- How distributed deployments complicate data residency, physical security and interconnection
- What operating models keep hundreds of small sites as manageable as one large one
10:00 – 10:20
Built for 100kW Racks: Infrastructure for AI-Dense Halls
- How facility design is shifting as rack densities climb well beyond traditional air-cooled limits
- What modular, prefabricated build approaches deliver in speed-to-capacity and total cost of ownership
- Why designing for tomorrow’s workload profile today avoids stranded capacity later
10:20 – 10:40
Beyond Air: Liquid and Immersion Cooling for AI Workloads
- Why air cooling reaches its physical ceiling as GPU clusters push thermal loads upward
- How direct-to-chip and immersion systems are being retrofitted into existing halls as well as specified for new builds
- What PUE, maintenance and cost outcomes operators in the region are actually recording
10:40 – 11:10
Panel Discussion
From Pledge to Power-On: Converting Hyperscale Commitments into Operational Capacity
- Why announced investment and energised capacity are diverging – and where approvals, land and utilities stall projects
- How MIDA, PLANMalaysia and state authorities can compress zoning and planning timelines without diluting standards
- What CIDB benchmarks and contractor capacity mean for delivery schedules across the next wave of builds
11:10 – 11:40
Networking Break & Exhibitor Lounge
11:40 – 12:10
Panel Discussion
Megawatts on Demand: Securing Grid Capacity and Green Power
- Why grid connection has overtaken land as the binding constraint on new datacentre capacity
- How mechanisms such as CRESS and green electricity tariffs are opening routes to renewable supply
- What the National Energy Transition Roadmap asks of operators, utilities and regulators in sharing the cost of new generation
12:10 – 12:30
Capacity Without the Capex: Colocation's Role in the AI Build-Out
- Why enterprises are turning to colocation to access AI-grade capacity without committing capital to owned facilities
- How shared, carrier-neutral campuses lower the energy and emissions footprint per workload
- What tenants should demand in security, compliance and expansion rights before signing
12:30 – 12:50
The Self-Driving Datacentre: AI-Led DCIM and Predictive Operations
- How are real-time telemetry and predictive models are catching faults before they become outages
- What AI and IoT orchestration changes for staffing, maintenance cycles and energy use
- Why DCIM platforms must now adapt to workload profiles that shift by the hour
12:50 – 13:00
Cables, Cross-Connects and Landing Stations: Malaysia's Connectivity Advantage
- Why new subsea cable systems and landing stations are central to Malaysia’s hub ambitions
- How structured cabling and high-density fibre design inside the hall keep pace with AI cluster bandwidth
- What neutral interconnection ecosystems do to reduce latency and cost for tenants
13:00 – 14:00
Networking Luncheon & Visit to Exhibitor Lounge
14:00 – 14:20
Panel Discussion
Designing for the Unknown: Engineering Future-Ready Datacentres in an Era of AI Uncertainty
- Why shifting AI workloads and rising rack densities demand flexible rather than fixed designs
- How modular design and integrated MEP planning balance speed, cost and sustainability
- What local standards, supply chains and skills mean for on-time delivery in Malaysia
14:20 – 14:40
Green by Specification: Meeting MGTC Guidance Without Sacrificing Performance
- How renewable sourcing and low-carbon design can be embedded from concept stage in line with MGTC guidance
- What embodied-carbon reduction looks like across materials, construction and equipment selection
- Why refurbishment, reuse and certified recycling of IT hardware belong in the design brief – not the decommissioning plan
14:40 – 15:00
Fireside Chat
Protecting Data in Use: Confidential Computing Across Shared Infrastructure
- Why encryption at rest and in transit leaves a gap while data is being processed
- How hardware-based trusted execution environments allow sensitive workloads to run securely on shared and public cloud infrastructure
- What confidential computing enables for cross-agency data sharing, regulated finance and collaborative AI
15:00 Onwards
