This week the SOA & Cloud Symposium program committees announced an exciting free event to kick-start this year's SOA & Cloud Symposium. The first conference day (Monday, October 4th) will be dedicated to hosting a Cloud Camp event, which is open for anyone to attend free of charge. Cloud Camp events are based on the "unconference" format whereby experts and attendees openly discuss and debate current topics pertaining to Cloud Computing. The Cloud Camp day is further supplemented by lightning talks also performed by attending Cloud Computing experts.
The Cloud Camp event, followed by the numerous Cloud-related sessions during the subsequent two conference days, culminate in the delivery the Cloud Computing Specialist Certification Workshop, provided by SOASchool.com in Europe for the very first time. This post-conference workshop enables IT practitioners to achieve formal vendor-neutral accreditation in the field of Cloud Computing.

The tracks spanning the SOA & Cloud Symposium conference days (Tuesday October 5 plus Wednesday October 6) currently cover over 17 topics. Newly added time slots have brought the count to over 100 speaker sessions, making this the largest SOA and Cloud event in the world. The content, context, and application for SOA and Cloud Computing are ever-expanding. This event will be the hot spot for cutting edge technologies, methodologies, and their impacts on IT practitioners today. The agenda can be found here: www.soasymposium.com/agenda2010.php
