CloudCamps are an example of a new breed of conference becoming increasingly popular: the unconference. Rather than have a fixed schedule, the shape of the event evolves based on people who want to present and participate – in other words, oftentimes you get out of the event what you want to put in. The organisers of CloudCamp describe the events as follows:
CloudCamp is an unconference where early adopters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas. With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions. At CloudCamp, you are encouraged to share your thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing. End users, IT professionals and vendors are all encouraged to participate.
Events such as these provide an ideal opportunity to network and talk to peers and providers about what is happening in the industry, in addition to gaining a better understanding of what is a fast-moving and important area of the IT industry. We hope to see you there!
