Cloud Finance and Law Forum features Investor Pitches

Featuring expert speakers on Cloud capital, investment and law, the annual PoweredbyCloud forum will this year include Investor pitches by companies seeking funding. The event takes place at CityPoint, London 23-24 May.

Cloud investment is increasing, and the outlook is bright, despite the recent downturn. Cloud too appears likely to drive significantly increased demand for capacity in data centres. Yet how does the market now perceive prospects for investment and return in the medium to long term? Following on from its successful launch last year, the conference will also incorporate Cloud Law. As Cloud adoption by enterprises continues to gain traction, confronting legal complexities surrounding data transfer and security across multiple jurisdictions, compliance with legislation and regulatory requirements, presents many new challenges

Griffiths, Managing Director, Credit Suisse First Boston, Richard Hooper, CBE, Chairman, Broadband Stakeholder Group, Rupert Robson, Managing Director, Torch Partners and Marie Wold, President & CFO & Co-Founder, OnRelay plus more to be announced, the event will provide a valuable learning experience and compelling content.

The programme covers how to make money from cloud computing, and the implications for Corporate and IT, Finance and Investors, ISPs and Data Centres, and consumers. The technologies session will assess obstacles to roll out and the innovations that will overcome them. The forum concludes with Funding the Exit which assesses sources of funding available as a critical strategic issue now facing CEOs and CFOs.

The forum will provide wide ranging insight into finance and investment for cloud computing and the opportunities and challenges it represents. It also debates privacy and other concerns most relevant to government, the defence establishment, and professional legal intermediaries.
