The Cloud Revolution Summit: A Groundbreaking Event Redefining Cloud Conferences This September
Nordcloud, a leader in cloud solutions and digital transformation, has announced the launch of The Cloud Revolution Summit, a bold new event to reshape tech summit formats. On September 18, 2024, the summit will be a hybrid event, offering in-person and online experiences to reach a global audience of tech leaders, cloud enthusiasts, and digital innovators.
Why is change needed?
In today’s digital landscape, the cloud has become the backbone of modern businesses, promising agility, scalability, and innovation. Yet, despite widespread adoption, many organizations find that the anticipated benefits — cost savings, efficiency, agility, or security — aren’t entirely meeting expectations.
For some, the initial excitement of moving to the cloud has been tempered by the realities of complexity, rising costs, and skills challenges. These, combined with competitive pressure, economic challenges, and evolving technologies like GenAI, mean that simply being in the cloud isn’t enough.
It’s time to rethink strategies, optimize investments, and truly revolutionize how businesses harness the power of the cloud.
What’s different?
Unlike traditional tech conferences, which often follow a rigid format and feature predictable presentations, The Cloud Revolution Summit takes an entirely new approach driven by the audience. Attendees don’t just passively consume content; they actively shape it.
Participants can submit their most pressing cloud challenges on specific topics before the event. Expert panels will address these real-world issues and live in dynamic, spontaneous discussions.

An event driven by the audience
One of the most unique aspects of The Cloud Revolution Summit is its audience-driven format. Unlike typical conferences, where the organizers predefine the content, this summit empowers attendees to influence the agenda. When registering, participants are asked to submit their cloud and digital transformation challenges. These challenges are then integrated into the event’s sessions, ensuring the discussions are highly relevant and tailored to the audience’s needs.
“By putting the power in the hands of the attendees, we’re ensuring that the event is not only engaging but also directly applicable to the challenges they’re dealing with,” explained Jan Kritz, Nordcloud CEO. “This is about moving away from generic, one-si e-fits-all presentations to something that truly resonates and delivers actionable takeaways.”
Join the revolution
With its innovative format, high-profile speakers, and commitment to delivering real-world solutions, The Cloud Revolution Summit is set to be a must-attend event for anyone serious about cloud technology and digital transformation. Whether you’re a CIO, IT manager, or developer, the summit offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn, address your pains, and drive organizational change.
“Cloud technology is evolving rapidly, and so should the way we discuss, share, and solve its challenges,” said Kritz. “The Cloud Revolution Summit is our answer to that need – a fresh, interactive approach that will leave attendees with new ideas and the momentum to bring them to life.”
Online attendees will benefit from a seamless virtual experience, with high-quality streaming, interactive Q&A sessions, and the ability to submit questions and challenges in real time.
