Tech Field Day and the Practitioner Community Connection
Over the past decade attending Tech Field Day events, it’s not just the cutting-edge technology that’s captivated me—it’s the unparalleled sense of community. Each event is more than just a tech deep-dive; it’s a reunion of curious minds and a celebration of shared passion. Being a delegate isn’t just a role. It’s a badge of a decade-long journey of growth, connecting, and invaluable relationships. The Tech Field Day community has become an essential part of my tech narrative, continually inspiring and enriching me with every event I see and attend.
We recently got to be a part of Tech Field Day – Cloud Field Day 17 which was another example of the value of live conversations exploring technology and solutions design.

Engage in real-time discussions via the hashtag #CFD18 and catch the live streams on the Tech Field Day webpage and LinkedIn. Notable delegates, including Allyson Klein, founder of The TechArena, and Keith Townsend, founder of The CTO Advisor LLC, will be present to share their insights. Keep an eye out for intriguing sessions, especially the introduction of Mezmo and deep dives into topics such as Multi-Cloud, DevOps, and cloud-native technologies.
We are going to see a very exciting array of platforms that all come together in a surprisingly cohesive theme. Storage, observability, virtualization, networking, security, well…that’s all cloud.
