I’m a huge fan of cloud computing - and Amazon is certainly the 800 pound gorilla in this space (personally I have been involved in projects which utilized both Amazon’s EC2/S3 infrastructure as well as Rackspace’s excellent Mosso scalable cloud computing platform). If you are attending the event, make sure to spot me and say hi!

p.s.: Don’t forget to drop me an email if you are interested in some free advice on your pitch - see my blog post from yesterday.
