The Higher Education Cloud Forum

The Cloud Forum is an annual gathering hosted by the cloud crowd at Cornell University. Beginning in 2015 this event has been bringing together the IT professionals who manage cloud computing at many of the top higher education institutions around the country. Attendance is limited because we gather in a small auditorium. Thanks to the intimate setting and higher education IT’s history of sharing, the conversations are candid, productive, and often quite entertaining. We share successes, failures, and lessons. We challenge our peers with the problems we are facing in hopes of tapping the wisdom of the crowd.

The event is for higher education, by higher education. We invite each of the main cloud computing vendors to send representatives, but they are not allowed to present or engage in the debate. They are there to listen and learn about higher ed’s cloud challenges.
