A strong lineup of guest speakers attracts attendees from a broad spectrum of the development and end user communities to the National Conference on Cloud Computing and Commerce (NC4).

Dublin City University, April 14th, 2015: The fourth annual conference on cloud computing and commerce, drew record numbers of industry participants to this year’s event at DCU. A strong lineup of industry and academic speakers as well as a broad range of cloud computing presentations topics attracted attendees from both the cloud innovator and cloud consumer communities.A total of forty one speakers, including twenty five from industry, spoke at the event with some speakers travelling from Greece, Romania, Germany, Holland, Portugal and England to participate at the event.

“We are impressed with the level of industry engagement in all of the presentation tracks” said Tony McEnroe, Centre Director of IC4, who helped organize the event. “while there was the usual high level of interest in topics such as data privacy, data breaches and data analytics, it was also great to see a strong level of interest from SMEs in how they could collaborate with research centres on EU-funded projects.

IC4 would like to thank AmbiSense, Arthur Cox, BH Consulting, Coder Dojo, Edelman, Frontline Ventures, Grant Thornton, IBM, Idiro, Intel, Oracle, Portugal Telecom, SAP and TheEmailLaundry, for their very interesting and practical presentations at the main subject tracks.
