Happy New Year!
The Foundation has started the year off running. As of today, six new Silver Members have joined the Foundation, and we are ramping up for Cloud Foundry Summit NA, which is happening in just a few short months. Please welcome Aqua Security, Bracket Computing, ITQ, RefineAI, SuperOrbital and TIBCO. We look forward to seeing all of our members at Summit in Boston this April.
I am also thrilled to announce the results of the 2018 Gold member representatives for the Cloud Foundry Foundation Board of Directors – Jörg Wagner of Swisscom, and Barbara Sanders of Home Depot. Please join me in welcoming them both.
Summit Sponsorships Available
Cloud Foundry NA Summit will take place in Boston this year, April 18-20, 2018, at the Convention Center. You can download the prospectus here — please reach out to Kimberly Andrews to discuss sponsorship opportunities. We have sold out of Bronze sponsorships, and have only a few Silvers left. However, we have plenty of add-ons and Gold sponsorship opportunities available. We are counting on all of you to make another wildly successful Cloud Foundry Summit happen! Feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions.
