Data Center World POWER Welcome Reception – Including a Texas Steer!
Where: Henry’s Hollow @ Hyatt Hill Country Resort
When: Monday, September 29, 2025 | 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm
The Data Center World POWER Welcome Reception will take place at the Hyatt Hill Country's most distinctive outdoor venue: Henry's Hollow. Nestled into the property's signature oak trees, network beneath beautiful twinkle lights as you overlook the golf course. And you won't want to miss the star of the show: a Texas-sized longhorn! Attendees can grab a photo op with this two-thousand-pound creature whose horns spread up to nearly six feet wide. Appetizers and drinks will be served. See you there!
Directions: To get to Henry's Hollow, walk straight out from the back of the main lobby (towards the recreation space, not the main entry), across Aunt Mary’s lawn, and make a left down the walking path. Henry’s Hollow will be on your right – past the volleyball courts.
