The
Summit
/ THE WHY
Innovation in the cloud space is fast-paced. It is difficult for consumers to keep track of recent developments and to make sense of applicable use cases. Also, security and privacy concerns hinder the adoption to a great extent. There is, therefore, a need to raise awareness around how this cloud-fuelled innovation is solving real-world problems when it comes to security and privacy.
/ THE HOW
The summit is a great opportunity for the most innovative solution providers in our region to tell their stories in a meaningful way so that customers can relate to and envision what to build on top of their cloud foundation. There are also in-depth discussions putting these technologies into context, answering questions from major ecosystem players, and providing recommendations on best practices.
/ THE WHAT
The Beyond Cloud Summit is a series of live, one-day events for C-level decision-makers that showcases a select group of technology providers focused on innovative solutions contributing to data security and privacy.
