Between The Clouds (3rd Edition)☁️Hosting AI models in the cloud

Cloud technology has been the backbone of innovation for years. In 2025, it is impossible to talk about the future of tech without talking about AI. For the 3rd edition of our annual Clusity Cloud Event, we focus on one of the biggest tech challenges and opportunities of today: what does it take to host AI models on different cloud platforms?

After our first edition comparing platforms in a “Clash of the Clouds” and last year’s “Multicloud” focus, this year we explore the inescapable truth of AI in the cloud. You will hear insights and lessons from experts working hands-on with AI hosting on AWS and Microsoft Azure, with additional perspectives from other major cloud providers to be announced soon.


This is a free event, open to everyone. While Clusity is dedicated to inspiring and empowering women in tech, we warmly welcome anyone who supports women and inclusion in technology, men included.
