Cloud Foundry Summit EU 2019 – A Conference Guide

Cloud Foundry Summit Europe 2019 is taking place in The Hague, the international city of Peace and Justice, in September. So if you are looking for the best of both worlds of Technology and Culture, register for the CF Summit and visit The Hague, which cultural offerings include Jan Vermeer’s famous painting, “Girl With a Pearl Earring”. 

We remember when we attended the Cloud Foundry Summit for the first time in 2014. Since then, we have participated in every CF Summit all around Europe, North America and Shanghai. 

Are you considering the benefits of participating in this event? We can give you some reasons:

Other than the great chance of listening to the best speakers in the community, their talks and what you will learn from them, you will have the opportunity to meet the faces behind the technologies. The opportunity to speak to them without the normal obstacles of daily work life and share ideas.

We are not only participating, but also sponsoring the Summit as we believe in the community and the importance of networking. We hope to meet as many members of the community as possible.
