We dive into the cloud world once again! What happens when we have experts in various Cloud tech such as Azure, AWS, Oracle, GCP, etc. talk to each other? What do techies who often work with Cloud think about the current climate? We'll find out in an inspiring panel with female cloud experts!

On Thursday, October 5, the evening will be all about the Cloud! We bring 5 inspiring experts from different cloud technologies together on a stage in a panel where we talk about the future, similarities and differences, and talk about technology choices for the developers who program the app to run on it.

Why is the cloud technology used for a new app often determined by the business and not the devs? Are uptime and price really as important as usability and complexity? What if you're a developer who happens to come across a particular cloud technology, and don't really have the knowledge to compare it to other cloud providers because you tend to get tunneled once you've built up some experience with 1 of them? What is the future vision of all these experts? Are we eventually going to 1 big cloud or is decentralization by providers necessary?

We will discuss that and more in an open, connecting conversation, where we are not competitors but interested techies who want to learn and innovate! An event intended for devs, devops, IT managers and anyone interested in learning about cloud!
