Bob Cassiliano, chairman and CEO of 7×24 Exchange Intl., and Brian Schafer, president of the 7×24 Exchange Intl. Metro New York chapter, discuss International Day Center Day (IDCD) in this episode of The Thought Cloud podcast. Together they educate listeners on the origin of IDCD, the various ways to participate in raising awareness of the data center industry, and how to inspire the next generation of talent.
Join the Festivities
We invite students, parents, teachers, academia, industry, and municipalities to celebrate the data center industry with everyone in the mission critical profession. Participation can occur in a number of ways:
Adopting a local school can begin in many ways!
Perhaps it is through personal contacts, Public Relations programs at your company, talking with your children’s teachers at open houses, or reaching out to after school programs in your area.
You don’t have to work at a big engineering firm or a data center to participate in International Data Center Day! Just like larger groups, you can create awareness about how data centers operate and participate in International Data Center Day from wherever you choose.
Parents and Teachers
When it comes to creativity, elementary and high school students are no strangers to coming up with interesting ideas. From drawings to essays to sculptures made with found objects, we’d love to see what your children create.
Academia
The best way to participate is by letting us know what scholarship opportunities exist at your school that will help future students pursue a career in the data center industry.
Industry
From participating in our mentoring program to offering tours of data centers to posting one of our badges on your site, industry professionals can share the wide world of data centers with the next generation.
Ways to Participate
Government
