Head in the clouds

Westminster Suite, 4th Floor

Cloud computing is seen by many as offering many enticing opportunities for individuals, companies and governments. In addition to reducing operational costs, cloud technologies have become the basis for radical business innovation and new business models—as well as providing enhanced access to IT services.

But like any new technology advancement, cloud computing also creates disruptive possibilities and potential risks. This event, run by the International Chamber of Commerce UK, will look at:

  • the opportunities presented by cloud technologies
  • policy and regulatory challenges raised by the cloud (including security and jurisdiction issues);
  • principles for cloud policy making - do we need 'cloud-specific' legislation?
  • the opportunities to maximise the potential of cloud for businesses, consumers and governments.

Chair: Steven Pattinson Chief Executive Officer, International Chamber of Commerce, London
