Cloud Café

July 15, 2021 | 9:00 am – 11:15 am EDT

Cafés are a place to meet, mingle, and express ideas – and at MeriTalk’s Cloud Café, we aren’t serving up a regular menu of quiche, coffee, and chamomile.

Cloud Café will focus on the latest technologies and policies accelerating cloud implementation, collaboration, and innovation across the public sector.

We’ll kick off this caffeinated virtual forum with a live keynote and engaging discussions with government cloud experts. Afterward, we invite you to sample the fresh, flavorful, and innovative Coffee Talks with some of today’s biggest thinkers in cloud computing.

So, bring your appetite for cloud, and your favorite morning beverage, and meet us in the café.
