London, 9 June 2014 - Set to attract thousands of delegates, the EMEA's biggest and leading Cloud event, Cloud World Forum, takes place next week. With over 250 companies joining the exhibition, and over 300 speakers from 74 countries participating in the conference, there's still time to register for the event, which promises to give delegates high-level insight into the future of Cloud.
2014's Cloud World Forum boasts numerous new features, including a dedicated Technical Cloud Theatre which will welcome world-class experts, such as the Open Data Centre Alliance, to explore fresh content on Software-Defined technologies, storage and more.
Visitors will have the chance to join the Future Cloud Theatre, where CxO level executives from major household brands, including Coca Cola, UEFA, BBC, Marks & Spencer, BMW, UBS and Lufthansa, will share their experiences of Cloud. Attendees will also be able to visit the Google Partner Zone and Theatre as well as the Salesforce.com Developer Theatre and Hackathon.
With a stellar speaker line-up, the agenda is compromised of the industry's top visionaries, innovators and operators. Bernard Golden, Vice President, Strategy for ActiveState Software, who will speak as part of the conference, comments: "I have consistently found that Cloud World Forum is one of the highest quality Cloud events anywhere in the world. The real-world end user perspective and value-focused program makes it a must-attend event. I look forward to it every year."
The event, which is now in its sixth year, will this year co-locate with the Big Data World Congress and Enterprise Apps World. At the Big Data World Congress, delegates can expect to benefit from 30 dedicated sessions and a partner zone, while the brand new Enterprise Apps World will look at the implications of going mobile and how enterprise apps can help.
The exhibition will see an array of exciting activity from exhibitors, from product launches and demos, to presentations and exclusive showcases. Adding to this, the show floor will be abuzz with content hubs, technical labs and dedicated networking zones.
Telecoms provider, NTT Communications, is speaking and exhibiting at the event and Neil Curtis, Marketing Manager Northern Europe, says: "The Cloud World Forum fits very well with NTT Communications Global Cloud vision. The agenda is very relevant, attracting a very high calibre of delegates. Being co-located with Enterprise Apps World also works really well and it's a great opportunity to build brand awareness and generate engagement. We are looking forward to a great couple of days."
Each year, the event recognises services from across the Cloud ecosystem through the Cloud World Forum Awards, which will take place in the Technical Theatre at the end of Day One (17 June). These Awards celebrate the innovation and hard work within the global Cloud industry and will be followed by Cloud Innovation World Cup and Computer Weekly Awards announcements.
Day One of the event will see the highly exclusive and revamped Executive Summit take place. Designed for C-Level executives, the Summit is the one stop shop for networking and experience sharing - by invitation only!
