Jun 18th 2009 CloudCamp London 9th July 2009

About CloudCamp

CloudCamp is an unconference where early adopters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas. With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions. At CloudCamp, you are encouraged you to share your thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing. End users, IT professionals and vendors are all encouraged to participate.

About CloudCamp London

Several attendees at the March CloudCamp ask if they could hear from the sponsors to learn what they had to offer cloud computing. In response to this feedback we are including an option for you to hear directly from the sponsoring vendors. Other feedback was the last event was way too large, this time we are using a smaller venue, thank you to Microsoft for allowing is to use their Victoria office. Although smaller we are still targeting 300 attendees.

London CloudCamps have slightly more format than the pure unconferences run in the US, that’s the way we Brit’s seem to like it.

Following it’s success at CloudCamp Scotland and the recent CloudCamp Mixer at Cloud Expo Europe we are introducing an Unpanel, where the panel members will be selected on the night (if you have expertise to share put yourself forward), the panel will answer your questions posted on flip charts at the 7pm break. Any Unpanel discussions needed further debate will be voted on to become the topics for unconference discussion at 7.45pm.
