Cloud Expo

Cloud Expo 2025 demonstrates that digital transformation does not wait. With 225 exhibitors, 165 knowledge sessions, and thousands of visitors, it is evident how quickly our sector is moving: AI is shifting from a tool to a colleague, security is becoming more autonomous, data is returning to Europe, and the cloud is taking on a new shape.<\/p>

You will feel this movement everywhere on the exhibition floor, but you can already get a taste of it now. In the Cloud Expo Magazine, you will read the visions and stories that show what lies ahead and why today's choices are crucial for the next ten years.<\/p>

At Cloud Expo 2025, we invite you to the Ctac Group Bar, the place where technology and meetings come together. Enjoy a drink, served by bartender Victor (known from the TV show First Dates), and meet the people behind Ctac Group. Who knows, you might find not only inspiration here but also your perfect IT match.

In addition to the pleasant atmosphere, Ctac offers a program focused on artificial intelligence. Get inspired by AI Champion Eline Schoonen and Executive Principle Vincent Mejan, who will show how AI helps organizations work smarter, accelerate processes, and collaborate better.

Sign up for the "perfect match"!<\/p>

During Cloud Expo 2025, we welcome a special speaker in the theater program: Raymond Mens, expert on America and a regular guest on Vandaag Inside. Raymond is known for his sharp analyses and accessible storytelling about the influence of the United States on Europe.

In his session, he will look at how American politics, legislation, and technological choices—from AI to cyber strategy—shape our digital future. Why do we often follow the course set in Washington? And what does that mean for the Netherlands, which is focusing on digital sovereignty and its own innovative power?

With his knowledge of geopolitics, media, and society, Raymond promises a session that perfectly fits the theme of Cloud Expo: Changing Innovation. An inspiring half hour where international politics and technology intersect—directly relevant for anyone working in the world of IT, cloud, and security.

His sessions take place on Thursday, December 4, at 3:00 PM and 3:45 PM in Theater 1.

During Cloud Expo 2025, we welcome a special guest on the Mainstage: Ben van der Burg, known from Vandaag Inside, former top skater, entrepreneur, and technology columnist. Ben takes visitors on a journey through his current, sometimes confronting but always inspiring view on technology, digitalization, and human behavior. His keynote will take place on Wednesday, December 3rd from 12:30 to 13:30, exactly during the lunch break, so everyone has the opportunity to join.

With his unique mix of energy, humor, and sharp observations, Ben promises to deliver a lecture that aligns with the mentality of Cloud Expo: looking ahead, innovating, and daring to challenge oneself. In doing so, he follows in the footsteps of previous Mainstage speakers such as Bas Nijhuis, Robert Doornbos, and Jack Plooij, who have colored the stage in recent years with their stories about leadership, setbacks, and success.

The cloud is no longer just an IT solution. It is a catalyst for change. But what does this changing innovation mean specifically for your organization?

During Cloud Expo, you will discover how the cloud is reshaping business models, processes, and even entire markets. Not only the benefits but also the challenges: costs, security, autonomy, and dependency. You will gain clear insights into what this shift means for your strategy, your team, and your future.

In the Cloud Theaters, innovators such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Dell will share how they continue to change innovation from AI to hybrid infrastructure and from cybersecurity to edge computing. No theory, but applicable insights that you can use tomorrow.

Let yourself be inspired by the technologies that are already shaping the future today. Experience how Changing Innovation does not stop but begins anew on December 3 & 4, 2025, during Cloud Expo in Houten.
