Speaking at CloudEXPO2010 Europe in Prague
I was very luckily given the opportunity to speak at CloudEXPO2010 Europe held in Hilton Prague. Being the youngest and the only female speaker, I was nervous before the speech, but all went quite well at the end, thanks to the encouragement from the people around. My session even attracted the biggest audience among all four tracks at the end of the second day of the event.
I spoke about Cloud Forensics: Challenges and Opportunities. My presentation can be downloaded here or here.
As a young researcher, I gained a lot of good insight and helpful advice from the people I met in Prague, who are closer to the industry. At the very end of the event, I went to Jeremy, the chair of CloudEXPO and asked him if I could go and speak at CloudEXPO Silicon Valley this Nov, and to my surprise, he immediately said yes! and even joked “all girls can come!”. I believe this is going to be truly an unusual opportunity for me, to speak at the largest cloud conference in the world in the heart of the technology.
News about my session at CloudEXPO Silicon Valley is on the Cloud Computing Journal. Looking forward to it!
I also attended pre-conference event at the Old Town Square on a lovely evening, although I was totally exhausted by previous travelling. Also saw people queuing for two whole roasted pigs in Prague at the event reception and that was a lot for me who did not eat any red meat for two years! :) After my talk, I had wine at the restaurant by the river where I use to go three years ago and it was just beautiful.
