It’s unlikely that any single player will dominate the cloud computing market in the foreseeable future. So more and more enterprise IT leaders are taking a pragmatic, creative approach and adopting a wide range of solutions.

Unlike other cloud events, CloudBeat is putting those customers (the adopters) front and center to share their experiences and insights on what really works. Participants include:

• Stephen Herrod, CTO, VMware
• Amit Singh, Vice President, Google Enterprise
• James Cuff, Chief Tech Architect, Harvard University
• Sanjay Poonen, President & Corporate Officer, SAP
• Lew Tucker, VP & CTO, Cloud Computing, Cisco
• Frank Edwards, Director of IT Strategy, PepsiCo
• Peter Coffee, VP of Platform Research, Salesforce
• Rafal Los, Senior Security Strategist, HP
• Gavin Blair, Director of Technology Ops, Patch.com
• Edward L. Hanapole, CIO, Kaplan
• Chris Kemp, Co-Founder & CEO, Nebula
• Dr. Amr Awadallah, CTO, Cloudera
• plus many more!

Another event highlight is the Innovation Showdown, a lively competition where we invite 10 new companies (vetted from over 150) that are leveraging the cloud in revolutionary ways to pitch live in front of an expert panel of judges and 500+ CloudBeat attendees.

Forge relationships with over 500 industry executives, with a mix of business and IT decision makers, analysts, investors, marketers, big brands/retailers, press, and more. Register for 20% off, and we hope to see you in November!
