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.
We 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 magic that happens when brilliant human beings connect.
Once you arrive, you’ll see why we call CloudFest a festival instead of a conference.
