“Cloud Expo Europe has become a key element in our marketing strategy and provides us with a fantastic springboard for our new financial year. There is no such thing as a ‘sure thing’ when planning events but Cloud Expo Europe is as near to one as is possible.”

“The range of exhibitors and seminar sessions, which are all relevant topics, are excellent!

To be able to see such a large number of suppliers over 2 days is fantastic, as you get to see people who you may not see in the office. It’s such a well organised show, from getting you to register to the follow up and the event itself – I will be back in 2019.”
