As 2015 comes to a close, it is a good time to start planning your cloud computing conferences and events for 2016. If you’re really trying to be on top of your game for 2016, you’ll be sure to pencil in some cloud computing events on your new calendar. That’s because 90% of businesses use some form of cloud computing. And, the cloud industry is not projected to stop growing any time soon, with public IT cloud services spend expected to double, reaching an estimated $127 billion by 2018. Cloud storage and cloud computing are definitely here to stay.

If you want to learn more about the advancements in cloud computing and see how the cloud benefits consumers and businesses, attending one (or more) of the cloud computing events and conferences on our list is a great place to start. Some of the conferences that made the cut for our top cloud computing events in 2016 are in their inaugural stages, while others are beloved conferences that cloud engineers, cloud architects, cloud developers, cloud SysAdmins, and other professionals working with the cloud look forward to attending year after year.

Specifically, we chose cloud conferences that feature expert keynote speakers, industry leaders, and tracks that focus on the hottest cloud computing trends and innovations. Networking opportunities and technical sessions are at the heart of many of our cloud computing conferences and events, also, so that you can choose those that have the sessions most valuable for you and your cloud computing needs. We’ve also added a few Meetups – we do this becasue we hope it inspires you to attend your local meetups on Cloud Computing topics. Please note, we have listed our top cloud computing events and conferences for 2016 below, in no particular order.
