KEYNOTE SPEAKER
AI in the Cloud: What’s Real, What Works, and What Scales
AI is rapidly being integrated into the cloud, but the gap between what is promised and what actually delivers remains wide. Much of what is being presented today is still defined by big-picture narratives rather than real operational change.
At the same time, a small number of companies are taking a more practical path. They are embedding AI across their platforms, from customer-facing products to internal tooling and infrastructure, and using it to solve real problems at scale.
In this conversation with Hostinger CEO Daugirdas Jankus and key members of his team, we examine how a fast-growing platform is approaching AI in practice. From products like Horizons to internal systems like Kodee, the focus is on how decisions get made across the stack. What gets prioritized, what gets cut, and where early assumptions break under real-world conditions.
Explore the CloudFest Americas 2026 Floor Plan

The venue features two Expo Halls, the Biscayne and Wynwood stages, Tiki Terrace, dedicated meeting spaces, the Florida Room, and a central Fun Zone, alongside the return of the Server Throwing Championships.

The VENUE: Not a Boring Hotel Lobby
The Ice Palace Studios beautifully combines the charm of 1920s historic elegance with the vibrancy of modern creativity.
Originally an ice manufacturing plant and then a film studio, its rich history now provides a unique and inspiring setting for a wide range of events. Its legacy extends far beyond the stunning spaces. This venue has been the backdrop for events that have shaped cultural history.
Set in the heart of Miami’s cultural history and just moments from the legendary Wynwood Walls, CloudFest Americas and Ice Palace Studios come together in a collaboration we didn’t know we needed.

namescon global meets cloudfest AMERICAs
We bring together the CloudFest Americas 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.
