Cloud infrastructures are growing in complexity all the time. Just as containers gain mainstream popularity, serverless will become the next hot thing. Staying ahead of the competition doesn’t have to be difficult though. Cloud conferences bring together great minds in the industry so users can gain the insights they need.
Here at Solutions Review, we do our best to provide IT professionals with the top cloud technology best practices, news and buyer’s guides, but nothing can replace the effectiveness of a conference. That’s why we’ve created this list of the top Cloud conferences and events for the rest of 2018. If you’re looking for top-notch speakers, vendor demos, and networking opportunities, then these should be on your calendar, check them out below.
AWS Summits
Los Angeles – August 23
Atlanta – September 13
Toronto – September 20
“AWS Global Summits are free events that bring the cloud computing community together to connect, collaborate, and learn about AWS.

AWS re:Invent – November 26-30
“At re:Invent 2018, you can expect deeper technical content, more hands-on learning opportunities, and more access to AWS experts than ever. The return of our two-hour workshops and our hackathon program means that you can dive into solving challenges and working on a team. The chalk talks and builders sessions give you the opportunity to interact in a small group setting with AWS experts as they whiteboard through problems and solutions. We have many more opportunities this year for you to interact, build, and learn, so you can get the most out of re:Invent.”
