CloudCamp Frankfurt 2013 – Here we go!

On 29th October CloudCamp Frankfurt 2013 takes place as part of the SNW Europe. This year we focus on the leading theme „Cloud First! – Is cloud the new normal?“ and expect as in 2012 a range of participants. Besides ProfitBricks CMO Andreas Gauger also CloudCamp co-founder and Citrix new Chief Cloud Advocate Reuven Cohen will give a talk.

Cloud First! – Is cloud the new normal?

Talking with providers and depending on the numbers of market researcher this question is quite easy to answer – YES! However, this must be proved with significant uses cases and facts. Furthermore not only the status quo will be discussed, but also controversial issues which should exactly call this current status into question and show where we need to go in the future to map cloud computing and its impacts optimal on the enterprise IT.

To that end we already can announce some attractive speaker.

Event note: Open-Xchange Summit 2013 in Hamburg – with me on the CEO Couch

On 26 September 2013 this year Open-Xchange Summit takes place in Hamburg. The organizers expect over 300 executives and decision makers from the SaaS and cloud market. The main focus of the event is to discuss and answer the need for trusted and open cloud services. In this context I will host the „CEO Couch“.

See you at Cap San Diego

The Open-Xchange Summit 2013 combines talks, networking and further activities and will deliver exclusive business and technical insights that Open-Xchange and partners are supplying to global service providers and cloud-based infrastructure companies. Thereby it’s about future deployment models, as well as the integration and scalability of Open-Xchange with existing infrastructures.

Suitable for Hamburg as location, the organizers decided for Cap San Diego, the world’s biggest and roadworthy Cargo Museum Ship, as event location.

The CEO Couch

Since I am best known for „… not being afraid to make myself enemies…“ – this was the inquiry 😉 – I will host the CEO Couch, motto: „Humble Growth in the Cloud: Going Beyond Cloud Angst in the Enterprise“. Although the participants of the CEO round are still secret, I can reveal that these are very interesting CxOs from the German and European service provider market.

Free Registration

The attendance of the Open-Xchange Summit 2013 in Hamburg is free. The agenda and registration can be found under http://summit.open-xchange.com.

Free GigaOM Research analysts webinar on July 9 about the future of cloud computing in Europe

Anyone who is interested in the future of cloud computing in Europe should register for the international GigaOM Pro analysts webinar on July 9. Moderated by Jo Maitland, Jon Collins, George Anadiotis and I will talk about the opportunities and challenges of the cloud in Europe and countries such as Germany or the UK, thus giving an insight into the cloud computing market in Europe.

Background of the webinar

The European Commission unveiled its “pro cloud” strategy a year ago, hoping to reignite the stagnant economy through innovation. The Commissioner proclaimed boldly that the cloud must “happen not to Europe, but with Europe”. And rightly so. A year later, three GigaOM Research analysts from Europe Jo Collins (Inter Orbis), George Anadiotis (Linked Data Orchestration) and Rene Buest (New Age Disruption) – moderated by Jo Maitland (GigaOM Research) – take a look at who the emerging cloud players are in the region and their edge over U.S. providers. We dig into the issues for cloud buyers in Europe and the untapped opportunities for providers. Can Europe build a vibrant cloud computing ecosystem? That’s a tough question today as U.S. cloud providers still dominant the industry.

The free GigaOM Research analyst roundtable webinar “The Future of Cloud in Europe” taking place on Tuesday, July 9, 2013, at 8 a.m. PT.

Questions to be answered

  • What’s driving cloud opportunities and adoption in Europe?
  • What are the inhibitors to adoption of cloud in Europe?
  • Are there trends and opportunities within specific countries (UK, Germany, peripheral EU countries?)
  • Which European providers show promise and why?
  • What are the untapped opportunities for cloud in Europe?
  • Predictions for the future of cloud in Europe.
