The world's emerging marketplace and the cloud were made for each other.  If you are an IT professional, rely on IT professionals, employ IT professionals, or use and share stored data at all, you do not want to miss this conference.

Cloud computing has emerged as a dominant force for information technology over the last few years and is a tremendous influence on government, finance, telecommunications, education, retail, energy and utilities, and transportation. The expected transformation has great implications for emerging markets which have the potential to leap-frog mature markets in their adoption of cloud computing, combine cloud computing and mobile technologies to introduce unique services that can transform the lives of billions, drive a much larger scale of adoption and challenge existing price points, while presenting unique challenges in areas such as security and user interfaces to cloud computing.

Research in this field has become very active and spans a number of areas including virtualization, networking, storage, security, management of cloud services, efficient cloud architectures, massive multi-tenancy, and design of cloud applications and services. Cloud computing is the way of the future and many studies indicate that more than 50% of all information technology will be in this new paradigm within the next five to ten years.
