Cloud Leadership Day
Cloud Leadership Day is the ultimate conference for cloud leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts.
At this one-day conference, practitioners from leading companies share insights and best practices, discuss latest trends and strategies related to cloud transformation. Cloud Leadership Day provides an opportunity to discuss challenges, exchange experiences and share ideas, to network and to leave with practical suggestions to apply when you get back to the office.
Every year, we have an open call for speakers, where we invite practitioners to send in their stories. Have you got a story to tell?

No Sales Pitches, Please!
You love your company, your products, your services? And that’s great, because life is too short to waste at a job you hate! But please focus your talk/workshop on practical, real world solutions that are transferrable to other attendees. Pure sales pitches and talks that focus heavily on a specific tool or service will be rejected.
Format
Talks are 30 minutes long (incl Q&A); Workshop are hands-on, interactive sessions for a smaller group (ca. 30 participants) and last 60-70 minutes.
Service Providers
For the purpose of establishing a clear line between partners and other service providers, we have decided to ask service providers in the main program to also support the conference as partners – we view this as fair.
Service providers are defined are those who offer services in the agile field in the German-speaking region of Switzerland and who seek to directly gain economic advantage through their stage appearance.
If a speaker feels that s/he is not included in the definition (because s/he, for example, does not seek direct economic benefit or proposes unique content), an appropriate option can be offered. The Conference Board will consider this request in good faith and, together with the speaker, will seek a solution.
Admin
All speakers are granted free entry to both conferences (Could Leadership Day and Data & AI Leadership Day), including catering and the partner expo. Please note that travel costs are not covered by the organizers.
