It's simple, really, but if you need a few excuses to abandon the laptop and the office drip coffee to come learn a few things about what's next for cloud infrastructure, here you go:

  1. A packed speaker list of prominent cloud professionals
    The cloud wars are on in more ways than one and we have the biggest cloud titans on stage to give you answers: AWS, Google, Microsoft, SoftLayer and more shine light on what's to come.
