Driving Innovation & Scale in the Alternative Cloud Ecosystem
Coming to The Ice Palace Studios!
Built for the leaders in cloud and hosting, we are bringing America’s top Internet infrastructure event to vibrant Miami in a new, improved and unforgettable festival format!
It’s A CloudFest-ival!
The world’s largest Internet infrastructure event is moving to Miami for CloudFest USA 2025! A large audience of hosting and cloud service providers are based in North America, and CloudFest USA is the long-standing home for this incredible and innovative community.
Built for The Alternative Cloud 😎
The cloud market today is largely controlled by three hyperscalers who claim about 70% of the U.S. market share. But what about the remaining 30%? That’s the alternative cloud. Valued at an estimated US$164 billion today, the alternative cloud is forecasted to reach US$300-$350 billion over the next five years. CloudFest USA will explore the industry dynamics driving the growth of the alternative cloud, offering tools, services and strategies to help cloud leaders maximize their growth and efficiency.
What to Expect
CloudFest is the #1 internet infrastructure event in the world, connecting the global cloud computing industry: you’ll form the partnerships that help you reach your business goals, and have a great time doing it. We facilitate new partnerships, deep knowledge sharing, and the best parties the industry has ever seen.

Ice Palace Studios – Miami 🌴
The Ice Palace Studios beautifully combines the charm of 1920s historic elegance with the vibrancy of modern creativity.
Originally an ice manufacturing plant, its rich history now provides a unique and inspiring setting for a wide range of events.
It’s legacy extends far beyond the stunning spaces. This venue has been the backdrop for events that have shaped cultural history.
CloudFest USA and Ice Palace Studios is the collaboration we didn’t know we needed…
Two Events in One!
We bring together the CloudFest USA 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
Industry Trailblazers Give Their Thoughts on CloudFest USA 2025:
“CloudFest Europe has been a huge success, bringing together top companies and key industry leaders to Rust every year. Now it’s time for CloudFest USA to create the same momentum for North America. Miami is the perfect place to facilitate this: fun, easy to get to, and built for making things happen!”
“The new venue has a great deal of potential—I’ve seen impressive cloud growth throughout the Americas, and this location feels like the perfect place. I also get the sense that CloudFest USA is really starting to take shape as the kind of key meetup that CloudFest Global has long been. Now’s the time to make the commitment to join us.”
“Shifting CloudFest to Miami will increase access to businesses based in Latin America that may have not been historically served by the CloudFest community. That makes me really excited about Miami. As with any CloudFest, I’m excited for the opportunity to network with industry leaders and partners in the industry!”
“The sessions and networking at Cloudfest USA are always top-notch. But hosting the event at a studio where some of my favorite movies were filmed makes this event experience even more unique. Can’t wait!”
