Data Centre World + AI Summit Australia

When Data Centre World and The AI Summit Australia made their Australian debut at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Turbo 360 was on the ground to capture it. Over three big days we delivered photography and highlights video for Informa Australia across one of the country's most talked-about technology gatherings.

About the event

On 7 to 9 September 2026, Data Centre World Australia and The AI Summit Australia made their highly anticipated debut at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. It was a landmark moment for the city, marking the first time Australia hosted this leading data centre and artificial intelligence event, which forms part of Informa's respected global series held across the USA, UK and Asia.

Organised by Informa, the two co-located events shared keynote presentations and a joint exhibition hall while keeping distinct conference tracks tailored to each audience. Supported by the Victorian Government, the event drew industry leaders, innovators and policymakers to explore AI innovation and data centre excellence, from power infrastructure and cooling technologies through to sustainability.

What we covered

Turbo 360 provided event photography and highlights video production across all three days. Our brief was to document the full story of the event, from keynote moments on the main stage to the energy of the exhibition floor and the connections happening in between.

What we delivered

The headline deliverable was same day photo and video production across all three days. That meant Informa Australia had polished, ready-to-share images and highlights turned around while the event was still live, ideal for social updates, media and post-event marketing.

How we managed a multi-theatre event

With multiple sessions running at once, coverage was the real challenge. Sessions ran simultaneously across four theatres, so keeping a crew of four across every location, every session and every priority moment took careful coordination.

We ran the whole gig through our custom-built Turbo Crew mobile app. It kept the team clearly across locations, schedules and communications throughout the three days, so nothing important slipped through the cracks and every theatre was covered when it mattered.

The result

The outcome was a complete, same day visual record of a genuinely significant event on the Australian tech calendar. From packed keynotes to the buzz of the exhibition floor, we captured the scale and momentum of the show and handed it back fast, ready for Informa Australia to use straight away.
