Dallas – September 14, 2017 – Compass Datacenters will have featured leadership training speakers at an extensive list of upcoming leadership summits, data center industry events, construction industry conferences and other events during the coming weeks.

“I believe that we have the best team in the data center industry, and that is reflected by how ‘in-demand’ our executives are to speak on topics that are of the utmost importance in our field: How will data center infrastructure evolve to stay ahead of consumer and corporate needs? How does the data center industry need to change in order to provide the foundation for tomorrow’s economy? How do we secure computing in an increasingly insecure world? How do we make IT more efficient to preserve the world’s resources? How do we bring more diversity to the technology industry in order to have access to the talent we need to stay at the forefront of the world’s technology needs?” said Chris Crosby. “These are some of the biggest questions our economy is facing, and the Compass team is at the forefront of each of those issues as evidenced by the long list of thought leadership speaking engagements we have this year.”
