Business information provider UBM TechWeb, US, has announced a sold out show floor and record breaking attendance numbers for Cloud Connect 2011, a technology event for cloud computing. Cloud Connect will seek to spotlight the latest technologies, strategies and innovations within cloud computing, beginning March 7 - 10 at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
A sold out show floor is expected to bring the who's who in cloud computing to Santa Clara for Cloud Connect. Growth on the expo side is claimed to be astounding, boasting a floor twice as big as it was last year, welcoming over 70 of the most important companies in cloud computing. The organisers expect a 50 percent increase in attendance, anticipating 3,000 attendees, 71 percent of who are senior level managers or above at their companies. Attendees are said to reflect a balance of business and IT professionals, developers, VCs and investors. As reflected in a pre-show survey, attendees' top interests are on private clouds and SaaS, with IaaS, PaaS and virtualisation following close behind.
As both a conference and an exhibition, Cloud Connect's goal is to chart the course of cloud computing's development by bringing together enterprise IT professionals, developers, infrastructure providers and cloud computing innovators. UBM TechWeb claims to have produced cloud events that define and frame cloud computing discussions since June 2008, including Cloud Summit Executive and Enterprise Cloud Summit at Interop. Cloud Connect seeks to encompass the entire cloud computing ecosystem, featuring a Launch Pad programme, IT & Developer workshops and a full conference programme.
