Join us in Antwerp @ The Beacon on February 4th, where the OpenCloudification team (TheBeacon, IMEC IDlab and LSEC) will welcome you for the annual gathering of OpenCloudification.
Registration links are available at the end of this page.
Over the past few years, the OpenCloudification initiative, led by LSEC, The Beacon, and imec IDLab, has worked to advance open cloud accessibility, security, and organisational customisation. Focusing on helping businesses find alternatives to major cloud providers, this event brings together the expertise of open-source leaders to empower organisations to build flexible, scalable, and cost-effective cloud solutions tailored to their needs.
This annual gathering invites participants to explore workshops, innovative case studies, and insightful discussions about the future of cloud infrastructure. Attendees will gain practical knowledge of open-source cloud platforms, strategies for effective cloud scaling, and insights into the latest trends and future directions in the cloud landscape.
This event will provide a comprehensive roadmap to cloud transformation through open-source technology, ideal for companies seeking greater control and transparency in their cloud operations. Participants will gain practical insights into building and managing custom cloud environments, scaling efficiently, and exploring cloud infrastructure trends and future directions. Join us to learn from industry leaders, connect with peers, and explore the possibilities of open-source cloudification tailored to your organisation’s needs.
