OUR KEY THEME FOR 2026
The Sustainability of Everything
Beyond Carbon. Beyond Buzzwords.
Toward a Future that Works.
Internet infrastructure is entering a new era of uncertainty. As AI reshapes and disrupts the entire stack, sustainability must be redefined—not just in terms of energy consumption, but in relation to long-term viability across jobs, business models, and the trust that holds this industry together.
Meet our Top-Tier Partners
CloudFest is only possible thanks to our fantastic partners, who love creating memorable experiences as much as we do. Be sure to connect with these innovators once you get to Europa-Park!

Branding is a significant element associated with a businesses’ success, and CloudFest offers the most effective platform to reach this objective. Differentiate yourself from your competitors, promote your company’s message, and maximize your overall marketing efforts during a week-long event dedicated to your success.
Product/Service Showcase
CloudFest is the place to reinforce the role you play as an innovator in the global market. With such a captive audience of attendees, what better venue to debut a new product or service than in front of an engaged crowd of professionals hungry for insights into your company and its offerings?

Getting to across the table from old, new, and potential customers can often prove next to impossible. CloudFest breaks down those barriers by giving you an environment founded on connecting with your target audience: re-establish old relationships and ignite new ones here!
New Partner Connections
Progressive brands understand the doors open to them by working with hyperscalers in this new, converged space—and our large-scale festival is your access point to the full range of companies who are eager to explore these opportunities.

Stay intimately connected to the market by seeing first-hand what new products and services are available and in turn, better understand the revenue streams that new channel partners can potentially fill. Research and surveillance keep your company ahead of the competition.
High-Level Exposure
Hyperscalers join CloudFest at a premium level, and get critical touchpoints to showcase the value their operations offer. An exhibition space, presentation time in our largest forum, a seat at the table during one of our panel discussions, and the ability to conduct a boot-camp deep dive into your operations puts you front and center of a captive and eager audience.
