Each year Cloud Connect Silicon Valley hosts the Cloud Executive Summit (CES), an exclusive program which takes place in advance of the main Cloud Connect Conference and Expo. The speakers and audience for CES include an interesting blend of industry executives, investors and entrepreneurs, and ample opportunity for discussion and networking. The program is fast-paced, thought provoking and focuses on a variety of interesting topics. But the underlying theme at CES is very much focused on one thing… finding the next business opportunity in the cloud.
Here’s an overview of what we have planned this year and the excellent speakers we have lined up. I hope to see you there!
