5th International Cloud Computing Expo (19-21 April, New York City)

One of my grand hopes for all of you, and your respective enterprises in 2010, is that you find your way to the Clouds. 

The coming years will be both exciting and challenging as we collectively migrate our enterprises to cloud computing.  Speaking of enterprises, I owe all of you an article on preparing your enterprise for the cloud.  I continue to work on it, thought it's not quite ready yet.  Besides, this week, I have the pleasure of meeting with a world class, cloud computing leader, and I hope to glean further insights that will help shed light on the future of the enterprise. 

In the meantime, to show my appreciation for your loyal readership, I am including a Special Offer for you.  The key to the cloud is - knowledge - so to help you acquire that knowledge, I am extending a special invitation to attend the 5th International Cloud Expo at the Jacob Javits Convention Center (April 19-21, 2010).
