About
Cloud computing was once heralded as the ultimate gamechanger offering agility, scalability, innovation, and a dramatic reduction in IT costs. The promise was clear: modernize infrastructure, eliminate complexity, and unleash organizational potential. But more than a decade into widespread adoption, it's time to ask some hard questions.
Has Cloud truly delivered on its transformative potential? Or have we simply exchanged one set of limitations for another, swapping capital expenditure for unpredictable operating costs, gaining speed but losing control, enabling scale while increasing complexity?
Beyond the Hype is a critical deep-dive into the evolving role of cloud in enterprise strategy. This event offers a space to dissect the most pressing questions facing IT and business leaders today:
- Are cost savings real and sustainable or obscured by hidden fees and sprawling architectures?
- How has vendor lock-in and ecosystem dependency reshaped decision-making power within organizations?
- Are security and compliance postures keeping pace with cloud sprawl, or are businesses exposed in new and concerning ways?
- What are the long-term implications of ceding infrastructure ownership in an age of AI, quantum threats, and data sovereignty?
Through a series of expert-led discussions and thematic sessions, we will explore what cloud has enabled and what it has complicated. We’ll confront uncomfortable truths, share hard-earned lessons, and offer forward-thinking strategies to regain clarity, control, and value from cloud investments.
This is not a celebration of Cloud; it’s a recalibration. Join us as we go beyond the hype to understand what cloud success really requires today and how to navigate the next chapter with eyes wide open.
