# Up on the roof and up in the Clouds: Cloudability hosts talk on the future of the Cloud

You can’t read a tech article today without a mention of “the Cloud.” See? You just read it in this one. But where is the Cloud going? And what should people expect?

Well, Portland’s resident Cloud experts, [Cloudability](http://cloudability.com "Cloudability"), has gathered a couple more Cloud experts—and [TechCrunch](http://techcrunch.com "TechCrunch")—to have a discussion about the Cloud. [And you’re invited](http://futureofcloud.eventbrite.com/ "Future of the Cloud").

> Join us on Thursday evening (7/19) on the gorgeous Wieden + Kennedy rooftop for drinks, networking and a special discussion on the future of the cloud. The short discussion will be led by cloud evangelists Ben Kepes (@benkepes) and Krishnan Subramanian (@Krishnan), and moderated by TechCrunch’s enterprise reporter, Alex Williams (@alexwilliams). From Hobbits to heterogeneous infrastructure, we’ll take a look at where the cloud is going and what it will look like when it gets there.
