Horizon 22 Event 2026
On 18 June 2026, FläktGroup hosted an exclusive evening event at Horizon 22, 22 Bishopsgate, London, bringing together over 130 leading voices from across the data centre industry.
The event welcomed a group of consultants, designers, operators, and colocation specialists for an evening of insight, discussion, and meaningful networking, set against panoramic views of the London skyline.
Moving beyond the products
Centred on the theme “Is it time to stop talking about the products?”, the event challenged conventional thinking and encouraged attendees to shift focus towards execution, delivery, and operational resilience in a fast-evolving data centre landscape.
The discussions reflected a growing industry consensus: innovation alone is no longer enough—success depends on the ability to reliably deliver at scale and at speed.
Key Moments from the Evening
The event opened with a welcome reception, giving attendees the opportunity to connect with peers and FläktGroup experts in an informal setting. This was followed by a series of short, high-impact presentations and discussions:
- CEO Introduction – Dave Dorney
Highlighted the growing gap between industry ambition and execution capability, setting the tone for the evening’s conversations - Operational Resilience Insights – Michelle Meeder
Shared a practical framework for strengthening execution resilience, outlining key steps to ensure consistent project delivery in complex environments - Expert Panel Discussion (moderated by Jonas Caino)
A central highlight of the evening, the panel explored critical industry questions, including:
- Who can truly deliver, not just design?
- What matters more: speed or certainty?
- Can execution keep pace with growing ambition?
The discussion sparked candid debate and diverse perspectives from both consultants and end-users, reinforcing the importance of collaboration across the value chain.

Delivering Impact: Highlights from Our Shard Event 2025
Last year we welcomed over 120 professionals from across the industry, to The Shangri-la The Shard, bringing together a powerful mix of operators, developers, design consultants, engineers, and technology specialists, with consultants making up 58% of attendees.
What truly set the event apart was the quality of the audience and the conversations that followed. Attendees weren’t just there to listen - they were there to engage, share insights, and challenge thinking. The diversity of expertise created an environment where ideas flowed, connections were built quickly, and meaningful discussions led to real opportunities.
At its core was the launch of the Liquid DENCO CDU, which provided a strong focal point and generated significant interest throughout the day.
A key highlight was the expert panel discussion featuring Jonas Caino, Business Development Director at FläktGroup, alongside Jiten Patel (Vantage), Alistair Barnes (COLT), Anna Chrabol (WSP), and Obi Onuora (Black & White Engineering Consultancy). The discussion sparked insightful conversations and reinforced our position at the forefront of industry innovation.
The event was a highly engaged, high-value gathering of industry leaders. And it set a strong benchmark for what’s to come next.
