The Human Edge
Finding Your Place in an AI World
Europa-Park, Germany
CloudFest gathers over 9,000 leaders of the internet infrastructure industry for a festival of learning, sharing, networking, and forming partnerships—taking over a theme park in Germany’s Black Forest.
This is CloudFest
CloudFest is the #1 internet infrastructure event in the world, connecting the global cloud computing industry: you’ll form the partnerships that help you reach your business goals, and have a great time doing it. CloudFest returns to deliver an even bigger, more engaging live event experience that will surprise longtime attendees and first-timers alike.
The world’s largest cloud industry event is ready to once again take over a spectacular European amusement park to facilitate new partnerships, deep knowledge sharing, and the best parties the industry has ever seen. We do this because we love technology, we love people, and we’re excited for the possibilities that emerge when brilliant human beings connect.
