An independent forum for the people who design the cloud.
The Cloud Architect Alliance is a foundation that brings (certified) cloud architects together twice a year to share knowledge and compare notes.
Every edition has its own theme and speakers chosen for what they’ve actually built. We separate vendor talk from the real story, so the conversation goes deeper.
- Free for invited architects and consultants
- Curated program around a single theme
- A great dinner at an even better venue
How the evening runs
Talks are woven between the courses, so every session gets a table’s worth of discussion afterwards.
Welcome
Bart Veldhuis and Freek Beemster open the evening.
Five talks
Keynotes and a mini workshop, one between each course.
Four courses
Starter, appetiser, main and dessert with coffee.
Drinks
Networking until late.
This edition’s theme and speaker lineup will be announced soon.

Frequently asked questions
Is the event free?
Yes, if you’ve received a personal invitation by letter or email. Register with that invitation and the committee will check each registration against the profile. We may decline registrations that don’t fit.
I didn’t register. Can I still come?
Unfortunately not. We host 100 architects per edition and are fully booked every time, so there are no walk-in seats. Contact the organisation to ask about last-minute availability.
I’m not a cloud architect or consultant. Can I attend?
The evening is for practising architects and consultants. Only partner companies may send a non-technical colleague.
I registered but can’t make it. What should I do?
Cancel as soon as you know. There are always more architects waiting than seats available, and an early cancellation lets us invite someone else.
