Get inspired by our keynote speaker

We’re thrilled to hear from Barbara Corcoran, original investor on ABC’s Shark Tank and founder of The Corcoran Group, as she kicks off day two of the conference in her keynote address, “Surviving Bad Times and Bouncing Back.”

Barbara survived three recessions while growing her business and knows the ins and outs of weathering the storm. She’s mastered the art of resiliency and bouncing back from failure, and knows there’s always an upside if you stay in the game. Her expert tips will help you adapt to change quickly and emerge even stronger on the other side.

Learn from three information-packed tracks

CloudLIVE 2021 features three tracks designed to meet your unique business priorities:

• Cloud financial management: Cloud financial management—also known as FinOps or cloud cost management—helps organizations align their cloud investments with strategic business initiatives. This track covers best practices for cost reporting, cost optimization, and driving financial accountability across business groups.
• Cloud optimization and governance: Managing, monitoring, and optimizing all your cloud resources and management tools is a continuous process, and requires automation as your organization grows. This track covers best practices for driving cost, resource, and security optimization through policy-based governance.
• Cloud security and compliance: Organizations are encountering new security and compliance challenges as they increase their adoption of public cloud. This track covers best practices to improve collaboration between IT, security, and developer teams, reduce cloud misconfiguration risks, ensure compliance, and mitigate threats.

Connect, learn, and share with the global cloud community

The event’s 100% virtual format allows attendees to connect with a broader range of individuals than ever before. More than 1,000 practitioners and cloud experts will come together to share their experiences, best practices, and lessons learned. Connect with your peers and learn valuable insights you can leverage in your own business.

This year’s conference feature’s industry-leading speakers from Shell, Robert Half, SAP, AWS, and more, who will address the unique challenges businesses are facing today—including disparate workforces, rising cloud costs, and adhering to cloud security regulations—along with actionable solutions that you can take home to your organization and implement into your cloud strategy.
