From your tech stack to your next hire, the connections you need are at your fingertips once you get to the world’s #1 internet infrastructure event!
If you work in corporate IT, the idea of going to a cloud computing conference may seem daunting. How do you meet the right people and find what you’re looking for? How do you make the business case for going in the first place? The answers to these questions can be found by attending the right event, and that event is CloudFest.
CloudFest is the top internet infrastructure event in the world, connecting the global cloud computing industry. This vendor-neutral festival is where CSPs, MSPs, web hosters, datacenter providers, and open-source platform developers meet to reveal the technology and build the partnerships that build the Cloud as well as advancing their business goals—and have a great time doing it.
If you work in the corporate IT world, coming to CloudFest is like winning the lottery.
A bold claim, yes, but check it out: at CloudFest you’ll not only discover the cutting-edge technology, services, and integrations that will make you a hero in your department—you’ll also get face-to-face access to the leaders of the most innovative and important companies in the Cloud.
Let’s put this another way: which is more efficient: lining up 20 different phone or Zoom meetings over the course of a year to sort out your tech-stack and hiring needs, or meeting with everyone you need over the course of four days at a European theme park, with rollercoasters, live concerts, and themed parties?
Follow-up question: which option sounds more fun?

If you’re a corporate IT leader, you belong at CloudFest. In fact, everyone there will want to meet you.

With over 9,000 internet infrastructure professionals expected at our 2025 festival (who knows how many if you’re reading this in the future!), each attendee is vetted to make sure they’re active in the industry.
With a week of events and activities attended by some of the Cloud’s key influencers, vendors, and purchasers, our festival offers your company many opportunities to make new connections and form successful partnerships.

Print extra business cards, because this cloud computing event is built for networking. Whether you’re looking to hire developers, front-end specialists, cybersecurity or AI experts, analysts, or new executive team members, CloudFest is the center of the universe for internet infrastructure. The festival starts with the CloudFest Hackathon. This is an awesome showcase for the diverse global talent that comes to Europa-Park each year, as they crush open-source problems in just a few days. We also feature specialty tracks for artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, plus Barcamp sessions that cover the major platforms that drive modern corporate IT operations.

CloudFest is a Community
