DCU Host Conference on doing business in the Cloud
DCU will host Get Digital: The National Conference on Cloud Computing and Commerce at The Helix on Wednesday 25th April as part of Microsoft Ireland's National Cloud Week. The free conference, aimed at Irish technology decision-makers and entrepreneurs, will feature presentations by key business leaders and experts on cloud computing and the commercial opportunities it presents for Irish businesses and the Irish economy.
Speakers will include Paul Rellis (Managing Director, Microsoft Ireland), Colm Lyon, (CEO, Realex), Mark Kellett (CEO, Magnet Networks), Professor John Mooney (Pepperdine University), Anthony Quigney (Director, Dell Solutions Centres) and technology entrepreneur, Sean O'Sullivan, Ireland's newest 'Dragon'. Attendees will also benefit from the insights of panellists from PayPal, 3V, Sage Ireland and Deloitte, amongst others.
Cloud computing is one of the fastest growing segments and a significant part of the overall market for information technology and services and can reduce both the upfront and maintenance costs for ICT in most businesses. National Cloud Week has been designed by Microsoft to further raise awareness of the role that Cloud Computing can play in helping to drive economic growth, support job creation and to deliver savings and efficiencies in both the public and private sector in Ireland.
"Ireland is fortunate to have so many leading cloud companies based here. With the establishment of the Irish Centre for Cloud Computing and Commerce and events like this conference and National Cloud Week, we will help position Ireland for future job growth and innovation, at home and abroad," said Dr. Theo Lynn, Principal Investigator and Business Research Theme Leader at the Irish Centre for Cloud Computing and Commerce. "As Ireland's 'University of Enterprise', DCU's commitment to both the Cloud and university-industry collaboration is reflected in the selection of speakers from both industry and academia at the National Conference on Cloud Computing and Commerce."
The conference is organised by Techspectations, DCU Business School's digital outreach programme, and the new Irish Centre for Cloud Computing and Commerce, both located at DCU Business School, and is supported by Microsoft and North Dublin Chamber of Commerce.
