The OpenStack Silicon Valley conference will be bringing numerous presenters to a sold-out venue on Tuesday, September 16th in Mountain View, CA. The event will bring together numerous OpenStack luminaries under one roof for a single day of keynotes, talks, and presentations from 8am to 5pm.

OpenStack Silicon Valley will feature a number of luminaries from the OpenStack ecology. Martin Fink, EVP and CTO at HP will speak to why OpenStack is positioned for the Enterprise. Executive Director of the OpenStack Foundation Johnathan Bryce will keynote the software defined economy and the position of the cloud. Martin Casado, CTO of Networking at VMware, will keynote cloud and the policy layer as it relates to automation, regulations, risk management, and cost.
