The Canadian Cloud Council Announces Final "Cloud Matters" Agenda
CALGARY, ALBERTA, Feb 05, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
The Canadian Cloud Council is pleased to announce the final agenda
for the association's third national conference "Cloud Matters" on
March 11 and 12, 2013 at the Rimrock Resort in Banff, Alberta,
Canada. The cCc is the only Canadian national cloud industry body and
is actively involved in Canadian cloud policy making, ecosystem
development and community building. "Cloud Matters" will feature 50
Canadian cloud evangelists, business leaders, investors and policy
makers tasked with creating "Canada's Cloud Globalization Action
Plan".
"Cloud Matters" like all Canadian Cloud Council events, promises to
be engaging, divisive, passionate and controversial. Shane Schick,
Editor at Expert IP and Former Editor-in-Chief at IT World Canada,
called the association's recent "Cloud Launch" event in Ottawa,
Ontario "the most divisive conference in recent memory."
"Cloud computing is an evolutionary continuum of the World Wide Web.
It does not have borders and should not be treated as a guarded and
protective "national domain", commented the Canadian Cloud Council's
Founder and CEO Robert Hart. "What the cloud does provide is an
agile, infinitely scalable mechanism for global socio-economic
development, industry diversification and technology
commercialization. Our political leaders and policy makers need to
introduce forward thinking legislation to support these mechanisms,
and ensure the accelerated development of an open, democratized and
cloud ecosystem - one that supports innovation from the small-medium
enterprise. Our global competitive position depends on it," concluded
Hart.
"Cloud Matters" will focus on four major key focus areas: The Nexus
of Cloud, Social Media, Mobile Computing and Big Data; Government
Cloud and Shared Services Policy Development; Cloud Entrepreneurship
and Global Cloud Privacy. Robert Herjavec, CEO of Herjavec Group and
Star of CBC's "Dragon's Den" and ABC's Shark Tank is opening the
event which also features keynote presentations from Chris C. Kemp,
CEO of Nebula and Co-Founder of Open Stack; Wayne Walls, Chief Cloud
Strategist at Rackspace; Jeff Barr, Senior Director Cloud Computing
at Amazon Web Services; Peter Coffee, VP/CTO and Head of Platform
Research at Salesforce.com; Saeed Amidi, Founder and CEO Plug and
Play Tech Center; and Kate Rozmahel, Corporate Chief Information
Officer at the Government of Alberta. The event's proud title sponsor
is HP.
