[UPDATE (Jan 22, 2009): I added more events thanks to commenters and people who sent me via email. I also put up a permanent page (not a blog post) that will keep an updated list of events at http://gevaperry.typepad.com/main/upcoming-cloud-computingrelated-events.html]
[UPDATE (Jan 26, 2009): Added the Powered by Cloud event in London]
[UPDATE (Feb 3, 2009): Added two more events - check out updated events page at link above]
In the next few months, we'll see a plethora of cloud computing-related events all over the world. I thought it would be helpful if I give a list of some of those I've noticed and I am sure there are others I haven't. CloudCOnnect started last night in what I thought was an extremely successful panel in an innovative format. Three cloud vendors -- Amazon, Google and Saleforce.com -- pitched their cloud offerings to four CIOs of large enterprises and government agencies. The cloud vendors then had to take questions on stage from the prospective customers.
