WorldHostingDays is the largest conference for the worldwide hosting and cloud community located in Germany at Europa-Park Rust. Last year WHD.global celebrated its 10th anniversary with over 6,000 attendees.

For the second time we’ll be there as a partner to share you our e-commerce software for hosting companies, managed service providers and SaaS companies. It’s an technology independent platform with ready integrations to multiple technologies and public clouds like Softlayer, AWS and Google.

WorldHostingDays just announced its 2015 agenda with almost 90 topics. Below you can find our suggestion for the schedule. The main focus on this schedule is on cloud services. There are a few overlapping sessions on the schedule, but it should work fine. The full schedule can be found here: WorldHostingDays 2015 Agenda.

If you want to meet us at WHD.global ping us through contact us, Twitter, Linkedin or Facebook or if you see us at the venue just come to say hi!
