"I finally registered for #CloudExpo," tweeted Michael Baylor (@CloudVisions) Monday. "It's now official," he added, "everyone on the planet is going to be there."
Baylor was just one of thousands of IT professionals who are using Twitter right now to connect with other like-minded Cloud & Big Data experts and compare notes as they prepare to attend The Largest Cloud Computing Event in the World...10th Cloud Expo | Cloud Expo New York.
Cloud Expo New York currently has a billboard in, where else, New York's Times Square!
Here are just some of the past few days' tweets hashtagged #CloudExpo, including Baylor's:
After a violent shove off the fence, I finally registered for #CloudExpo. It's now official, everyone on the planet is going to be there.
