GeekWire Cloud Summit 2019 | GeekWire | 5 June 2019 | Meydenbauer Center, 11100 NE 6th St, Bellevue, WA 98004, USA

The GeekWire Cloud Summit is one of the premier cloud technology conferences in the country.

Content: This year we’re thrilled to host great speakers such as Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, Mai-Lan Tomsen Bukovec, head of Amazon Web Services’ pioneering S3 cloud storage service, and Cal Henderson, co-founder and CTO of Slack. And we’ll have a special treat to close out the day, with the three creators of Kubernetes —Joe Beda, Brendan Burns, and Craig McLuckie.

In addition to main stage keynotes, we’ll offer deep technical sessions in three breakout areas throughout the day: Cloud Migration, DevOps and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning. We’ll also offer a business track session, which will include a CEO panel featuring ExtraHop CEO Arif Kareem; Icertis CEO Samir Bodas; and Integris CEO Kristina Bergman and a venture capital panel with Sudip Chakrabarti of Madrona Venture Group; Preeti Rathi of Ignition Partners and Sheila Gulati of Tola Capital.


Why attend: There aren’t many cloud computing conferences that are produced outside of the cloud vendors themselves, and the GeekWire Cloud Summit is a great value for engineers, developers, CIOs, CTOs and other business and tech leaders. See the 2018 Cloud Summit recap here, and check out presentations here.
