Velar Tech Forum is a year-round program for the senior practitioner and technical decision maker.

Cloud Explorers Forum is a year-round program for the senior practitioner and technical decision maker. An event to showcase emerging tech and companies at the forefront of that technology to an exclusive audience of senior technologists and others that influence tooling buying selection.

Its differentiating aspects are:

1. no-nonsense, technical content, curated by our technologists

2. live discussion with two technical emcees, moderated questions from the audience and sponsor input into the discussion beforehand to optimize the discussion.

3. A small, engaging audience increases interaction, creating high-value connections. We create relationships, we don’t sell leads.

4. Events are thematical, with each event covering a single topic of theme.

The key differentiator is a live discussion panel on the event’s theme, moderated by the emcees.

• Questions are selected by the emcees based on sponsor input beforehand and live questions from the audience and emcees.

• By actively participating, sponsors can engage with the attendees as peers

• Send engineers, not sales people to optimize talk and discussion quality

Sponsors get a 25-min talk about a relevant topic, like an industry trend or customer case

• Each presentation is curated and approved before the event to maximize attendee value.

We do not have vendor booths, accept product sales pitches, or distribute attendee contact lists.
