ABOUT US

The Cloud 8 summit is a project by Drago Petrovic and Stoyan Chalakov. This project is about organizing events that are accessible to all interested IT enthusiasts in an uncomplicated and free way.

Our focus is to find the best speakers from the areas of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure, who give talks on the respective topics.
Our target audience are IT engineers and IT decision makers.

This year’s summit will also be free of charge for all participants. True to the motto: “By the community, for the community“.
