If you’re one of the 170,000 Indian IT or Cloud professionals living in the United States, then you may have already heard the news: Ingram Micro Cloud, operator of the largest marketplace for the channel, will be hosting its three-day Cloud Summit in Miami Beach this May after a two-year forced hiatus.
Held over 60 sessions divided into ten breakout tracks, Cloud Summit ‘22 is expected to draw over 1,600 attendees eager to discuss new ways to understand the channel and cloud’s complex digital value chain.
“Cloud Summit ‘22 promises to showcase new technologies and platforms while unlocking new strategies to scale,” said Victor Baez, senior vice president at Ingram Micro Cloud. “Join industry leaders to uncover new insights, learn from one another, and come together in Miami for the first time in a long time to experience A Future of Even More.”
At the event attendees will hear from leaders from Ingram Micro Cloud and their partners on ways they can launch their own XaaS products, expand their services portfolio, and get an update on the state of the industry as a whole. Attendees will also be able to speak directly with over 50 vendors and partners about their products, including Microsoft, AWS, Adobe, VMware, IBM, Acronis, and AvePoint, as well as a number of other key specialized vendors.
The two main topics for this year’s conference will be growth-oriented, and participants can delve deep into a range of talks and keynotes that touch on the topics of scaling for longevity, and growth and success in the channel.
Ingram Micro Cloud also has several after-hours events planned for attendees as well, including beachfront fireworks displays, a live DJ set, and a performance by the band the Gipsy Kings.
This year’s program will also see the return of Ingram Micro Cloud’s Partner Awards, which will feature two new philanthropic award segments dedicated to honoring cloud and IT professionals who give back to their communities: Cloud Summit Care and the Women in Cloud partner award.
