In the handful of weeks since we announced CloudCamp STL more than 100 people have registered to attend. That is awesome!
Given the short notice and the holiday season, I expected a much smaller number. But word of the event has spread, in no small part thanks to the marketing of Sam Charrington of Appistry. He wrote a blog post about the upcoming event recently, and has sent messages to local user groups and industry contacts. Others have spread the word, too, such as Alex Miller who also wrote a blog post. Then, today I see that the Riverfront Times (RFT) also has a blog post about the upcoming CloudCamp STL meeting. I couldn’t be happier with the publicity being generated by this CloudCamp. It shows that St. Louis has what it takes to be a part of the global cloud community. And when the meeting takes place, attendees / participants will see that St. Louis is, in fact, home to multiple industry thought leaders.
If you want to attend, please register at http://cloudcamp-stlouis-09.eventbrite.com/. Registration is not required to attend but it helps us plan the space, food, and supplies. And, of course, registration is free!
Finally, many thanks to our sponsors which currently include:
