The time has come for the web hosting industry’s biggest event of the year. CloudFest, beginning on March 10th and running until the 16th, will see hundreds of industry insiders and leaders descend on Europa Park in Rust, Germany.
The event, formerly known as WHD.global, was a huge success last year with a number of notable speakers (including our own CEO, Ken Simpson), a swaray of fun events to attend and many valuable connections to be networked.
Once again, MailChannels is delighted to be sponsoring CloudFest for 2018. Our team will be hanging out at booth H19 where we’ll be giving out swag with our brand new Botnets logo, designed especially for CloudFest. Stop by before we run out!
