CLOUD & GRID EXCHANGE 2010 23-04-10
. Skills Matter is pleased to announce the Cloud & Grid eXchange. We hope to bring together the leading experts on Cloud and Grid technologies, high scalability and performance, with London's enterprise development community for an informal day of deep technical insight and friendly discussion.

The aim of the Cloud & Grid eXchange is to promote awareness and adoption of the latest ideas, technologies and best practices for the development of large, scalable and highly performant enterprise systems, using Cloud & Grid technologies.

Russ Miles has kindly agreed to be the Programme Lead, and is currently working with several other leading experts on an interesting and exciting set of talks! This exciting day is structured to encourage discussion and, with a maximum of 125 delegates, we aim to provide an informal and intimate environment where you can share experience, learn about new ideas, talk to some of the world's leading experts and have some fun in the process.

Stay tuned on twitter
We will announce further topics and speakers in the coming weeks. If you would like to stay tuned or share any ideas or thoughts with us and the conference speakers, then follow the event on twitter @skillsmatter #cloudx

Register today
To event aims to provide a real opportunity to share ideas, learn and discuss, so we have limited the number of delegates to 125 only.

Sponsorship
As with all Skills Matter eXchanges, we are trying to provide the community with an opportunity to learn and share ideas and experience at the lowest possible cost. Any help is therefore greatly appreciated! There are a variety of sponsorship packages available, if your organisation would like to help us support this event for the enterprise developer community. For further details about sponsorship packages, please contact Skills Matter's Community Manager Natalie Gray

Russ MilesToby  HobsonRuss Miles & Toby Hobson: In an ideal world, every application could be deployed to any cloud. You could compare the SLAs and associated costs at deployment time, make your choice of which cloud services you grab from which vendor, and boom! have your app up and running. However there's nothing ideal in the current cloud market. This talk looks at the challenges from the developer and the cloud provider perspective. more...
