Cloud Field Day

Cloud Field Day highlights next-generation enterprise computing

Cloud Field Day focuses on the impact of cloud on enterprise IT. Cloud Field Day brings together the best independent thought leaders in enterprise cloud to discuss pressing issues and technology advancements with key companies in the space.

We have produced Cloud Field Day events since 2016, after including cloud as a key component of the original Tech Field Day series.

Cloud Field Day covers many diverse topics of interest to our delegates and their audience. In the past, companies have discussed the following areas:

  • Containerization, orchestration, and serverless computing
  • Cloud storage, data movement, and data protection
  • Application and service management
