Yellow's Take

This premier user event for the cloud/infrastructure sector boasts an exceptionally high-quality audience of 4000+ attendees, featuring top-tier speakers like Cisco's Jeetu Patel. While the value for B2B marketers is clear given the robust audience and industry focus, the absence of readily available exhibitor pricing is a notable gap for potential sponsors.
