Driving Innovation & Scale in the Alternative Cloud Ecosystem
Coming to Miami in 2025!
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!
The Cloud Industry Is Gathering
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.

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

Partner Testimonials
“CloudFest is a great event, I love coming to it…The US has an opportunity to really bring people from South America, Central America, Canada, and bring everybody here, and really kind of get them going on a whole new level in a new region.”
“The great part for me is that’s there’s so many interesting things here that it’s like a buffet of different technologies that I don’t deal with on a day to day basis. It’s almost like a vacation.”
“I’ve been part of some of the meetings, and there’s a lot of interesting smaller and larger companies who are trying to do new things.”
“Everybody here is welcoming. The community is awesome. It’s not like they’re not looking to talk to people. That’s why they’re here too. So when you get to something like this, there’s a lot of value.”
