DAY 2
WEB PROS IN THE CLOUD

CSPs and CSVs specialize in uptime, scalability, and analytics. Web Professionals specialize in design and creativity. Together you move mountains: Web Pros and hyperscale platforms teamed up to save countless SMBs during the COVID-19 pandemic, and CloudFest is fostering more strong partnerships by inviting top Web Professionals to the festival.
DAY 3
THE SECURE CLOUD

Safety is the #1 rule, and the threat landscape grows ever more complex. CloudFest 2021 will focus on the tools, processes, and partnerships required to deliver and demonstrate safe computing environments for your clients and end customers.
THE CLOUD WAS BUILT FOR THIS
CloudFest returns on an all-digital platform amid a global pandemic as we take stock of the strengths, weaknesses, risks, and opportunities that are revealed by a globe-spanning threat like COVID-19. The internet has delivered when it was needed most, just as its architects predicted—now let’s take it to the next level. You, the cloud professional, have an important role to play in the future of technology—so join us at CloudFest 2021 and let’s build something great together.
AGENDA SNEAK PREVIEW
Three days, three themes, three parties—and many ways to learn and share: CloudFest is putting its spin on digital events! Here's a taste of what you can expect as the world's biggest cloud computing conference returns. These sessions shake up our presentation style: we kicked out PowerPoint and replaced it with fast-paced conversations and high production values. This is only the beginning: get ready to see these three days fill up with more speakers and expert panels. Our agenda will help you spark conversations of your own on our networking-first platform, so reserve March 23-25 for CloudFest 2021!

GENERAL AGENDA*
Since CloudFest 2021 is reaching the entire world at once, we’ve divided the agenda into Core Time and Territory Tracks. The Core Time focuses on globally-relevant trends and ideas, while the Territory Tracks drill down into relevant content for Cloud professionals in Asia, Europe, and the Americas in association with local partners. These tracks are where you can dive deep into topics that hit close to home. Each day will focus on one of our core themes of The Intelligent Cloud, Web Pros in the Cloud, and The Secure Cloud.
