Cloud Asia enters its third year co-organized with Singapore’s IDA (Infocomm Development Authority).  Cloud Asia 2013 runs from the 15-16 May 2013 in Singapore.  An exciting change from last year’s event is entry to CloudAsia and the co-located Cloud Security Alliance Asian Congress is free for all enterprises, small and medium businesses, and operator users, see here for more details.  I just checked the attendee list and there’s close to 400 attendees registered from all around the world, and its likely to surpass that number on the day, the event has grown every year.
