The rapid growth of data centres, driven by AI and digital demand, is placing new pressures on energy systems, resources, and communities. 

We’ll explore the trade-offs, risks, and how companies are navigating the balance between digital growth, social and environmental impact?

We're bringing together interesting minds across sustainability, business, and academia — and we're doing it at one of London's most iconic addresses. Somerset House sits right on the Thames and is the kind of venue that makes your ideas feel bigger the moment you walk in.

Address: Somerset House, New Wing 
➡️ View on Google Maps

Somerset House's New Wing is located on Lancaster Place, London WC2R 1LA, just off the Strand. The nearest tube station is Charing Cross (Bakerloo, Jubilee, and Northern lines, 8-minute walk).

If cycling, there are Santander Cycle docking stations nearby on Surrey Street and Waterloo Bridge. We'd encourage you to avoid driving given limited parking in the area, but if needed, the nearest NCP car park is on Parker Street. 

More speakers will be announced soon. Got burning questions or topics keeping you up at night? Slide into our inbox at info@engage.slrconsulting.com
