Following on the successful format of CloudCamp London #4 in July we are again including an option for you to hear directly from the sponsoring vendors. Again thank you to Microsoft for allowing is to use their Victoria office which can acommodate up to 220 attendees.

London CloudCamps have a slightly more structured format than the pure unconferences run in the US, that’s the way we Brit’s seem to like it.

For the Unpanel we will select the panel members on the night (if you have expertise to share put yourself forward), the panel will answer questions from the floor. Any Unpanel discussions needed further debate will be voted on to become the topics for unconference discussion at 7.45pm.
