About this event

AI. Digitalisation. Big data. Space.


They're some of the biggest conversations happening across industry right now, but have you ever wondered about the physical infrastructure sitting behind them?

Want to step inside a data centre and see how it all works?


Join the WA Space Forum for a behind-the-scenes tour of NEXTDC's P2 data centre in East Perth and an opportunity to explore the critical digital infrastructure supporting Australia's increasingly connected economy and its growing space ecosystem.

Satellites may operate hundreds or thousands of kilometres above us, but much of the value they create ultimately comes back to Earth as data.

From Earth observation and remote sensing to satellite communications, positioning, space domain awareness and increasingly AI-driven analysis, the space industry relies on infrastructure capable of receiving, moving, processing, storing and protecting enormous volumes of information.

We'll head inside NEXTDC P2 to get a closer look at some of the physical infrastructure sitting behind that digital ecosystem and explore how data centres fit into the broader space-to-ground value chain.

It's an opportunity to connect some of industry's biggest conversations — AI, digitalisation and big data — with the infrastructure that helps make them possible.
