CloudCamp is coming back to Indy this Tuesday on October 27th from 4-8pm hosted at BlueLock. We’re one of the sponsors of the event and if it’s anything like the last event, it is going to be great. If you’d like to attend, register at http://cloudcamp.com/indianapolis.
Here’s some info about the event:
CloudCamp events are free and follow an interactive, unscripted format as attendees suggest topics of discussion, before and during the event. Attracting IT professionals and non-technical business managers alike, the event is designed to expand awareness of cloud computing, from both a technical and business integration perspective.
At a typical CloudCamp activities include:
• Panels and discussions focused on different types of Cloud Computing technologies
• Identify and discuss challenges posed by Cloud Computing
• Exchange ideas with other Cloud Computing innovators
• Learn about business models and discover opportunities
• Networking between potential cloud clients and business partners
In response to the growing interest in cloud computing, these camps have been held in major tech centers around the world, such as San Francisco, Washington D.C., Atlanta and London. Upcoming events, in addition to the Indy event, include: Silicon Valley, Munich, Germany, Phoenix, AZ and Tel Aviv.

On a related note, we started the Indy Cloud Users Group after I realized that there was such a need to discuss all things regarding cloud computing at the last Cloud Camp. The group usually meets the first Wednesday of the month. Details can be found at http://indycloudusers.com.
