7 benefits of networking

Networking is a valuable way to share knowledge, attain new customers/partners, and raise your company/business profile. 

We have gained more benefits from networking as follow: 

1. Get fresh ideas
2. Gain a different perspective
3. Staying up-to-date
4. Get an answer / different answers to every question
5. Generation of referrals/Increased business
6. Positive influence 
7. Connecting with key influencers

We all know how daily tasks can be. Events are the best opportunity to meet others, without the usual obstacles of daily work life. 

Are you ready to meet us?

We have prepared a conference guide for you, helping you to prepare your agenda and get the best out of your time at CF Summit EU 2020.

Cloud Foundry Summit 

Do you remember the first time you attended the Cloud Foundry Summit?

We remember the event in San Francisco in 2016:

“The shift to a multi-cloud environment is happening faster than any other enterprise technology shift in history. Cloud Foundry Summit is where organizations of all sizes will meet to define their multi-cloud strategies.”
