Register for the Cloud Forum

Cloud Forum Registration

Registration for attending the 2025 Cloud Forum in person is now open. Please read below for information about the intended audience and eligibility requirements for in-person attendance.

A half-day portion of the Cloud Forum on Tuesday, May 20 is available for virtual attendance. The focus is research leveraging the cloud and supporting researchers working in the cloud. Review the Cloud Forum schedule for full session details and register to join us for all or part of that session.

Audience

The Cloud Forum is primarily a cloud strategy and leadership event. The target audience for the Cloud Forum runs from CIOs, to directors of infrastructure, and, of course, cloud enablement leadership and architects. We strongly encourage attendance by institutions early in their cloud journey.

Cost

There is no cost to attend the Cloud Forum. Registration includes all meals except where indicated on the schedule. Travel costs are the responsibility of attendees. Travel details can be found on the Forum travel page.

In-Person Registration Eligibility and Guidelines

In-person attendance is limited to staff, faculty, and, with approval, students from institutions of higher education and academic research as well as guests invited by the organizing committee. If you have questions about eligibility, email Bob Flynn bflynn@internet2.edu. Ineligible registrations will be canceled and the submitter notified.

This year’s in-person Cloud Forum venue will be limited to 120 participants. To accommodate as many institutions as possible, each institution may send no more than three (3) attendees. Please coordinate with your colleagues in your organization to ensure you do not exceed the maximum.

Once the registration limit is reached, we will shift to a waitlist. Waitlisted registrants will be notified in the order they registered as spaces open up, assuming their registration does not push their institution beyond its cap of three attendees.

Virtual Registration

The researcher presentations and panel discussion on Tuesday, May 20 of Cloud Forum 2025 will be streamed live for virtual audiences. We encourage everyone who cannot attend in person to join us for this portion of the program. See the Cloud Forum schedule for full details.
