This successful series of summits has rapidly become a strong forum for IT executives to share best practices and garner knowledge from their peers. The Summit aims to provide a friendly no sales environment for company leaders to meet in a collegial setting and discuss practical steps to take advantage of cloud computing though interactive panel discussions and roundtables. The hope is to engender those ideas and relationships that can improve the cloud marketplace for everyone.  

“For businesses and IT to adopt and benefit from what cloud computing has to offer, business and IT management thinking needs to markedly change,” says Ben Trowbridge, CEO of Alsbridge Inc. “The time is now for IT leaders to radically transform their value proposition to the business. As innovations in cloud computing continue to develop and evolve across the enterprise, it is vital for IT executives to stay ahead of the curve. This summit is a valuable learning opportunity for accomplishing that goal.”
