Event Description
What value does the role of cloud computing play in the future of technology? According to Microsoft CELA Data Science and Analytics, the estimated capacity of new cloud and data roles based in Australia will increase to approximately 157,000 roles by 2025.

However, with cloud adoption being widely implemented by organisations, it is clear that there still remains a skills shortage in the workforce. In a recent 2022 State of Cloud report released by Pluralsight, the widening skills gaps was revealed with only 8% of global tech professionals have significant cloud skills.

In this panel discussion, we explore the future direction of cloud computing and discuss the opportunities and the challenges facing leaders and professionals around cloud skills.
