Beer with chips&mayo at Brussels CloudCamp

October 15, 2008
That sounds like a good enough reason to get involved with Brussels CloudCamp - it’s a free event and that includes the food and drink - so we’re sponsoring it to help spread the word about cloud computing to our fellow-geeks in the land of Poirot and the ‘Muscles from Brussels’. Should be interesting and good networking, so come along and join us on the boat that we’re using as the venue for this one.
Here’s the official message:

CloudCamp Brussels - Thursday 30 October 2008 - info at www.cloudcamp.com/brussels

The event consists of three main parts:

  • Keynotes & lightning talks: this is mainly the visionary and technology part of the event. Cloud evangelists and technology/visionary representatives give their view on Cloud Computing.
  • Unconference: attendees split up in smaller groups to discuss topics of their specific interest.
  • Networking

This is a community event. Please propose talks you would like to give, talks you would like to hear, discussions you would like to lead, or would like to participate in. You can email your suggestions to tom.leyden - at - q-layer.com.

Place to be:

Given its international character, its central location and the ease of access, we thought Brussels would be a nice location to host the first mainland European CloudCamp. The Event will be on a boat: Biouel has been converted into a  most flexible location for seminars like CloudCamp. For the event we will have the entire boat at our disposal, meaning that we have the upper deck for the networking part of the event and the lower deck for the presentations. The latter is fully equipped with 120 seats, a large screen & projector, and sound equipment.

The Biouel boat is moored at the “Quai des Matériaux – Materialenkaai” in Brussels, near Sainctelette. For more information on how to access the location, click here.
