CLOUD CITY is back, baby! The TelcoDR team has been hard at work preparing our VIRTUAL showcase of cloud native tech for telcos. That’s right, we’re 100% in the clouds this year, and you can join us from anywhere in the world from February 22 through March 2.
In this episode, I sit down with my good friend David Haselwood to talk about what we’ve done to bring the experience of in-person events to our virtual platform, and what you’ll find during the event – including a chance to meet with telco software vendors, check out their cloud-native product demos, and listen to a super fun keynote from little ol’ me. Listen now to find out how CLOUD CITY came together, and:
- Why we opened CLOUD CITY to other vendors [03:32];
- How we designed a kickass event for attendees and exhibitors [07:01]
- Where to register for this TOTALLY FREE event; [10:11]
- How I’ll be taking part in Mobile World Congress (MWC) 22 [11:30]; and
- My hopes for CLOUD CITY AND MWC in 2023 [14:23].
