Industry Experts Give Their Thoughts on CloudFest USA 2025:
CloudFest Europe has been a huge success, bringing together top companies and key industry leaders to Rust every year. Now it’s time for CloudFest USA to create the same momentum for North America. Miami is the perfect place to facilitate this: fun, easy to get to, and built for making things happen!
Aaron Campbell, VP of Products, Monarx
The new venue has a great deal of potential—I’ve seen impressive cloud growth throughout the Americas, and this location feels like the perfect place. I also get the sense that CloudFest USA is really starting to take shape as the kind of key meetup that CloudFest Global has long been. Now’s the time to make the commitment to join us.
Christian Dawson, Executive Director, i2Coalition
Shifting CloudFest to Miami will increase access to businesses based in Latin America that may have not been historically served by the CloudFest community. That makes me really excited about Miami. As with any CloudFest, I’m excited for the opportunity to network with industry leaders and partners in the industry!
Rachel Sterling, CMO, Identity Digital
The sessions and networking at Cloudfest USA are always top-notch. But hosting the event at a studio where some of my favorite movies were filmed makes this event experience even more unique. Can’t wait!

Ice Palace Studios – Miami 🌴
The Ice Palace Studios beautifully combines the charm of 1920s historic elegance with the vibrancy of modern creativity.
Originally an ice manufacturing plant, its rich history now provides a unique and inspiring setting for a wide range of events.
It’s legacy extends far beyond the stunning spaces. This venue has been the backdrop for events that have shaped cultural history.
CloudFest USA and Ice Palace Studios is the collaboration we didn’t know we needed…
Two Events in One!
We bring together the CloudFest USA and NamesCon communities which makes perfect sense! Here’s what you stand to gain by connecting with the leaders of the domain name industry:
Hosters already own millions of domain names, which the NamesCon community of brokers and expert investors can help you turn into a profit center
Learn how domain traffic, parking, and sales work in the real world, straight from the people who created those business models
Partner with platforms that work with premium domains that are seemingly off the market—offering seemingly impossible extra value to your customers and winning enhanced loyalty
During CloudFest’s legendary social events, you’ll also connect with up to 1,000 domain name industry professionals—from registries and registrars to brokers, entrepreneurs, and startups: bring more business cards than you think you’ll need
