Cloud teams usually have to justify a conference against a monthly bill. The cost of a pass and a flight is easy to see. The payoff is harder: a migration plan that gets simpler, a certification that gets done, a vendor shortlist that gets shorter. Those payoffs come from different kinds of events.
Provider events go deep on one platform, with labs and roadmap sessions. Neutral expos put many infrastructure vendors on one floor, and some are free for buyers. Data centre congresses deal with power, sites and finance. This page sorts the 2027 options by that split, with dates, cities and the starting price for each.
Every date, city and price comes from the organizer's official pages. Where a 2027 price is not public, the table says Not announced. Prices move with early bird windows, so confirm the live figure at checkout. The method is on How we review tools.
Cloud & AI Infrastructure London
Cloud & AI Infrastructure London is a neutral, multi-vendor event. Two days at ExCeL London, an exhibition with live demos, and a conference programme across 14 theatres. The organizer calls it the UK's premier full-stack cloud and AI infrastructure event.

Should a multi-cloud team go to Google Cloud Next?
Only if Google Cloud runs part of your production. Its labs and roadmap sessions assume you use the platform. A team still comparing vendors can see more of them at Cloud & AI Infrastructure London.

How we picked these conferences
We included the cloud and infrastructure events most relevant to teams that build on or buy cloud, where the 2027 edition has exact dates on the organizer's own site. A missing price did not exclude an event. Dates and prices were checked on the organizers' sites on 5 Nov 2026. In the From column, a price is the public figure on the organizer's site for the cheapest ticket that includes the talks. Not announced means the organizer has not published 2027 prices. Free means no charge, with registration required.

Bottom line
Pick by the work in front of you. If Google Cloud runs your production, buy Next in the December early bird window. If you run hybrid on Red Hat, hold May 24-27 and wait for prices. If you are still comparing vendors, register for the free floor at ExCeL in March. If your cloud work is about power and sites, look at Cannes in June. Confirm every price on the official page before you book.
