Cloud Connect, a globally influential event in the cloud computing industry, will make its debut at Shanghai’s International Convention Center from September 15 to 17.

The rapid development of cloud computing will have a big impact on China’s IT industry and create a brand-new vision for IT applications.

It is also expected to be a major business model in China’s cloud computing service market in 2013. The event will also promote the integration of cloud computing with other concepts, such as big data, mobile and socialization.

More than 3,000 professionals and about 50 leading cloud service providers around the world will participate in the gathering. It will host keynote speeches, seminars and round-table discussions to provide a face-to-face communication opportunity among insiders.

A two-day exhibition will also be held during the event.
